SLX4

Chr 16AR

SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease subunit

Also known as: BTBD12, FANCP, MUS312

This protein functions as a regulatory subunit that assembles and activates multiple structure-specific endonucleases essential for DNA repair, resolving complex DNA structures that arise during replication and recombination. Mutations cause Fanconi anemia complementation group P, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The gene shows no constraint against loss-of-function variants (very low pLI), consistent with recessive inheritance where heterozygous carriers are typically unaffected.
