YES1
Chr 18YES 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.
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.
