BUD13 spliceosome associated protein

Also known as: ACHPS, Cwc26, fSAP71

The BUD13 protein is a component of the spliceosome that enables RNA binding and is involved in pre-mRNA splicing, including splicing of U12-type introns as part of the minor spliceosome. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with microcephaly and seizures, typically presenting in early childhood. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0), consistent with recessive inheritance where heterozygous carriers are unaffected.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

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.
