SPRY1
Chr 4sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 1
Also known as: hSPRY1
The SPRY1 protein inhibits fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor signaling by blocking FGF-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and prevents TGF-β-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in lens epithelial cells. Mutations cause autosomal recessive congenital cataract, affecting lens development in the eye. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.003), suggesting that complete loss of protein function may be required for disease manifestation.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
Predictions shown for reference only — model trained on dominant genes, not applicable to AR conditions.
The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
