The protein is predicted to bind ATP, though its specific cellular function remains unclear. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with seizures and dysmorphic features, typically presenting in early childhood. This gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants, which is consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern observed clinically.

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.
