TMEM265
Chr 16transmembrane protein 265
Also known as: IFITMD8
The protein is predicted to be a membrane-localized protein, though its specific function remains unclear. Mutations in TMEM265 cause autosomal recessive congenital disorders of glycosylation with variable presentations including developmental delay, intellectual disability, and multisystem involvement. This represents an emerging glycosylation disorder with expanding phenotypic spectrum as more cases are identified.

Population Genetics & Constraint
Constraint data not available from gnomAD.
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.
