TMEM125

Chr 1

transmembrane protein 125

TMEM125 encodes a protein predicted to be located in cellular membranes. Mutations cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia with intellectual disability, typically with onset in early childhood affecting the central nervous system. The gene shows high constraint against loss-of-function variants in the general population.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.

GOFprediction 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.
