MLC1 (Membrane protein MLC1) variants and mutations

MLC1 (also known as Membrane protein MLC1) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a membrane protein. A multi-pass membrane protein found mainly in brain astrocytes. It may support transport at the blood-brain and brain-cerebrospinal-fluid barriers and helps astrocytes respond to osmotic changes, while MLC1 disruption causes megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts. This analysis covers 721 MLC1 variants and mutations. Of these, 96% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes congenital fiber-type disproportion myopathy, response to stimulus, and adverse effect. Example MLC1 variants include M1?, M1I, and T2P.
