TARBP1

Chr 1

tRNA guanosine 2 -O-methyltransferase TARBP1

Also known as: TRM3, TRMT3, TRP-185, TRP185

This gene encodes an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase that catalyzes 2'-O-methylation at position 18 in specific tRNAs, enhancing their stability. Based on current databases, no definitive human genetic disorders have been established for TARBP1 mutations. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0), suggesting it may be more tolerant to such changes than highly constrained developmental genes.

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.
