FAM193B
Chr 5family with sequence similarity 193 member B
Also known as: IRIZIO
The protein is localized to the cytoplasm, nuclear speckles, and nucleolus, though its specific molecular function remains unclear. Mutations in this gene cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, typically presenting in infancy with seizures and developmental delays. The condition follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, and the gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function mutations.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly LoF-intolerant (top ~10% of genes)
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
