EMC6
Chr 17ER membrane protein complex subunit 6
Also known as: RAB5IFL, TMEM93
EMC6 encodes a component of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex that facilitates insertion of newly synthesized membrane proteins into ER membranes, particularly those with weakly hydrophobic transmembrane domains. Mutations cause autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with epilepsy and microcephaly, with affected children typically presenting in infancy with developmental delays, seizures, and growth abnormalities. The gene shows intermediate constraint against loss-of-function mutations (pLI 0.52, LOEUF 1.29), consistent with recessive inheritance.
