SLC25A32
Chr 8ARsolute carrier family 25 member 32
Also known as: GLYB, MFT, MFTC, RREI
The protein facilitates flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane, where FAD serves as a redox cofactor for fatty acid beta-oxidation, amino acid metabolism, and mitochondrial electron transport. Mutations cause autosomal recessive exercise intolerance that responds to riboflavin supplementation. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants, consistent with recessive inheritance where heterozygous carriers are typically unaffected.
Primary Disease Associations & Inheritance
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (dominant-negative and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to dominant-negative 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.
