OTUD6B

Chr 8AR

OTU deubiquitinase 6B

Also known as: CGI-77, DUBA-5, DUBA5, IDDFSDA

This gene encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme that removes ubiquitin from proteins and regulates protein synthesis, cell growth, and proliferation. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder with dysmorphic facies, seizures, and distal limb anomalies. The gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0), which is consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern.
