SPATA31A6

Chr 9

SPATA31 subfamily A member 6

Also known as: FAM75A6

The protein is predicted to bind actin and function in spermatogenesis and cell differentiation, with localization to the acrosomal vesicle. Currently, no specific diseases have been definitively associated with mutations in this gene. The gene shows low constraint to loss-of-function variation (pLI < 0.1, LOEUF 1.92), suggesting it may be tolerant to genetic disruption.

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.
