YES1

Chr 18

YES proto-oncogene 1, Src family tyrosine kinase

Also known as: HsT441, P61-YES, Yes, c-yes

The YES1 protein is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase of the Src family that regulates cell growth, survival, cell-cell adhesion, and cytoskeleton remodeling through phosphorylation of downstream substrates following activation by receptor tyrosine kinases. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.65), but no human disease phenotypes have been definitively associated with YES1 mutations to date. The inheritance pattern for potential YES1-related disorders would be autosomal.

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.

GOFprediction above median
DNprediction 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.
