STK32C

Chr 10

serine/threonine kinase 32C

Also known as: PKE, YANK3

STK32C encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is highly expressed in the brain. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with early-onset seizures and developmental delay. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, suggesting that complete loss of protein function is poorly tolerated.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.

GOFprediction 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.
