SPRY3
Chr Xsprouty RTK signaling antagonist 3
Also known as: spry-3
The SPRY3 protein inhibits the MAPK signaling cascade and negatively regulates neurite branching and complexity during nervous system development. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder with seizures and spasticity, a neurodevelopmental condition affecting cognitive function and motor control. This gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, consistent with recessive inheritance.
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.
