Non-specific phenotype. Large number of LoF variants in GnomAD and no LoF constraint. GIGYF1 was reported as the second-most mutated among known ASD high-confidence risk genes. (PMID:35917186). Tier 1, high-confidence developmental brain disorder gene in NDD GeneHub. GIGYF1 regulates recycling of IGF-1R to the cell surface; knockout reduced surface IGF-1R and disrupted IGF-1R/ERK signaling, providing a plausible NDD mechanism (PMID:36189799). Zebrafish and mouse LoF models recapitulated neurodevelopmental phenotypes (PMID:36924980).

Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). There is not enough evidence to support a gene-disease association so this gene has been given an Amber rating.

PMID: 33057194 - Has been identified as a gene with significant de novo enrichment in a large trio study from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study. 14 de novo variants (4 frameshift, 5 missense, 1 splice donor, 3 stopgain, 1 synonymous) identified in ~10,000 cases with developmental disorders (no other phenotype info provided hence Amber rating).
