TMEM210
Chr 9transmembrane protein 210
TMEM210 encodes a protein located in the acrosomal vesicle, which is involved in sperm function and fertilization. Mutations in this gene cause male infertility due to defects in sperm development or function, following an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants, consistent with its role in reproductive function.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Mild missense constraint
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.
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.
