CYFIP1

Chr 15

cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 1

Also known as: P140SRA-1, SHYC, SRA-1, SRA1

CYFIP1 encodes a protein that regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics and inhibits protein translation by forming complexes with EIF4E and FMR1 protein. Deletions encompassing this highly constrained gene (pLI 0.97) cause neurodevelopmental disorders including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, and schizophrenia with autosomal dominant inheritance. The gene plays critical roles in neuronal development, axon outgrowth, and synaptic function.

Clinical SummaryCYFIP1
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 0.97). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
