SLC16A11

Chr 17

solute carrier family 16 member 11

Also known as: MCT 11, MCT11

The protein functions as a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter that catalyzes pyruvate transport across the plasma membrane and is involved in hepatic lipid metabolism. Based on the extremely low pLI score and high LOEUF value, this gene appears highly tolerant to loss-of-function variants, with predicted gain-of-function being the likely pathogenic mechanism. However, no specific pediatric neurologic diseases have been definitively associated with SLC16A11 mutations in the provided data.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
