SLC5A11
Chr 16solute carrier family 5 member 11
Also known as: KST1, RKST1, SGLT6, SMIT2
The SLC5A11 protein functions as a sodium-dependent cotransporter that transports myo-inositol and other molecules across cell membranes, particularly in intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption. Mutations in SLC5A11 cause autism spectrum disorder with epilepsy and arthrogryposis, typically presenting in early childhood with developmental delays, seizures, and joint contractures. This gene follows autosomal recessive inheritance and shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 1.067), affecting primarily neurological and musculoskeletal systems.

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.
