TBC1D26

Chr 17

TBC1 domain family member 26

TBC1D26 encodes a protein that acts as a GTPase-activating protein for Rab family proteins, which regulate intracellular membrane trafficking. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement abnormalities. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 1.086), consistent with recessive inheritance where heterozygous carriers are typically unaffected.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

DNprediction 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.
