TRMT10B

Chr 9

tRNA methyltransferase 10B

The protein is an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of N(1)-methylguanine at position 9 in tRNAs and is involved in protein insertion into the mitochondrial inner membrane as part of the TIM22 complex. Mutations cause microcephaly, short stature, and limb defects with autosomal recessive inheritance. The gene shows extremely high constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 1.0), indicating that complete loss of function is likely incompatible with normal development.

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.
