RBMY1J
Chr YRNA binding motif protein Y-linked family 1 member J
The protein functions as an RNA-binding splicing factor required for sperm development during spermatogenesis. Mutations in this Y-linked gene cause male infertility due to azoospermia (absence of sperm), with inheritance following a patrilineal pattern from father to son. The gene is located in the AZFb azoospermia factor region and is part of a gene cluster with multiple paralogs on the Y chromosome.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
