TCEAL5
Chr Xtranscription elongation factor A like 5
Also known as: WEX4
TCEAL5 encodes a protein containing a BEX domain that may be involved in transcriptional regulation. Mutations cause X-linked intellectual disability with seizures and macrocephaly, following an X-linked inheritance pattern. The gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants, suggesting intolerance to complete protein loss.
