TATDN1

Chr 8

TatD DNase domain containing 1

Also known as: CDA11

The TATDN1 protein exhibits 3'-5' DNA exonuclease and AP endonuclease activities and plays an important role in chromosomal segregation and cell cycle progression during eye development via its DNA decatenation activity. Mutations cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia with optic atrophy and neuropathy (SPOAN syndrome), typically presenting in infancy with progressive spastic paraparesis, congenital optic atrophy, and peripheral neuropathy. The gene shows extreme intolerance to loss-of-function variants (pLI ~1), indicating that complete protein loss is likely incompatible with 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.
