SLC7A6OS

Chr 16AR

solute carrier family 7 member 6 opposite strand

Also known as: EPM12, Iwr1

SLC7A6OS directs RNA polymerase II nuclear import and is predicted to be involved in hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Mutations cause progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 12, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.614).

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

DNprediction above median

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.
