RBMY1F

Chr Y

RNA binding motif protein Y-linked family 1 member F

Also known as: YRRM2

NCBI Gene: 159163 ENSG00000169800 UniProt: Q15415

The protein is an RNA-binding protein that participates in pre-mRNA splicing during spermatogenesis and is required for sperm development. Mutations cause male infertility due to azoospermia, with inheritance following a Y-linked pattern since the gene is located on the Y chromosome. The gene has multiple functional copies in the AZFb region and shows relatively low constraint to loss-of-function variants.

ResearchSummary from RefSeq, UniProt

This gene encodes a protein containing an RNA-binding motif in the N-terminus and four SRGY (serine, arginine, glycine, tyrosine) boxes in the C-terminus. Multiple copies of this gene are found in the AZFb azoospermia factor region of chromosome Y and the encoded protein is thought to be involved in spermatogenesis. Most copies of this locus are pseudogenes, although six highly similar copies have full-length ORFs and are considered functional. Four functional copies of this gene are found within inverted repeat IR2; two functional copies of this gene are found in palindrome P3, along with two copies of PTPN13-like, Y-linked.

Interpreting a novel variant

This gene is strongly intolerant of loss-of-function variation in the population, so LoF variants warrant close attention. No curated mechanism annotation is available — see the mechanism card for the computational prediction and its caveats.Based on population constraint only.
