SLC35G6
Chr 17solute carrier family 35 member G6
Also known as: AMAC1L3, TMEM21B
SLC35G6 encodes a predicted membrane transporter protein. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI = 0.0005), suggesting that mutations would likely cause severe developmental disorders, though specific associated phenotypes have not yet been clearly defined in humans. Inheritance pattern for potential SLC35G6-related disorders is expected to be autosomal recessive based on the high constraint against heterozygous loss-of-function.
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 (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.
