FBXW5
Chr 9F-box and WD repeat domain containing 5
Also known as: Fbw5
This gene encodes an F-box protein that serves as a substrate recognition component of SCF and DCX E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, targeting specific proteins including SASS6, EPS8, and TSC2 for degradation to regulate centriole duplication, cell cycle progression, and mTOR signaling. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with onset in infancy, characterized by severe intellectual disability, refractory seizures, and developmental regression. The gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants in the general population.
