BOD1L1

Chr 4

biorientation of chromosomes in cell division 1 like 1

Also known as: BOD1L, FAM44A

BOD1L1 encodes a component of the fork protection machinery that stabilizes RAD51 at stalled replication forks and protects against uncontrolled DNA resection during replication stress. Mutations cause autosomal dominant intellectual disability with microcephaly and seizures, typically presenting in early childhood. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variation, indicating that BOD1L1 haploinsufficiency is likely not tolerated in the general population.

Clinical SummaryBOD1L1
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
