Chr 16

tubulin epsilon and delta complex 2

Also known as: C16orf59

The protein acts as a positive regulator of ciliary hedgehog signaling and is required for centriole stability. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental disorders involving defects in hedgehog signaling pathways, which can affect multiple organ systems including the brain, limbs, and other structures that depend on proper cilia function during development. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants based on population data.

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Low constraint (pLI 0.00) — loss-of-function variants are relatively tolerated in the population.

The Badonyi & Marsh model scores gain-of-function highest, but genomic evidence most strongly supports dominant-negative as the primary mechanism.

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.
