SYTL5
Chr Xsynaptotagmin like 5
Also known as: slp5
The protein functions as a Rab effector that binds phospholipids and facilitates vesicle trafficking, with expression restricted to placenta and liver tissues. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, which presents in the neonatal period with joint contractures and muscle weakness. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely not tolerated.

Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Tolerant to missense variation
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (dominant-negative and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to dominant-negative 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.
