RBM10

Chr XXLR

RNA binding motif protein 10

Also known as: DXS8237E, GPATC9, GPATCH9, MINAS-60, S1-1, TARPS, ZRANB5

This protein binds to specific RNA sequences and regulates mRNA splicing, playing a critical role in post-transcriptional gene expression control. Mutations cause TARP syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder affecting multiple organ systems. The gene is extremely intolerant to loss-of-function variants (pLI ~1.0, LOEUF 0.11), indicating that complete loss of protein function is typically incompatible with normal development.

Definitive — sufficient evidence for diagnostic panels

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
