TMEM222
Chr 1ARtransmembrane protein 222
Also known as: C1orf160, NEDMOSBA
TMEM222 encodes a protein localized to dendrites, though its specific cellular function remains unclear. Biallelic mutations cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with motor and speech delay and behavioral abnormalities, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The gene shows relatively low constraint to loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.000004), consistent with recessive inheritance where heterozygous carriers are typically unaffected.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
Predictions shown for reference only — model trained on dominant genes, not applicable to AR conditions.
The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
