STC1

Chr 8

stanniocalcin 1

Also known as: STC

The protein stimulates renal phosphate reabsorption and prevents hypercalcemia, functioning as a secreted glycoprotein that regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Based on current evidence, no Mendelian disorders have been definitively associated with STC1 mutations. The gene shows moderate tolerance to loss-of-function variants (pLI = 0.20, LOEUF = 0.695), suggesting it may not be essential for normal development.

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.
