FAM193B

Chr 5

family 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.

Clinical SummaryFAM193B
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 0.99). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
