TEX13B
Chr Xtestis expressed 13B
Also known as: TGC3B, TSGA5
TEX13B encodes a protein with similarity to a mouse testis-expressed protein, though its precise function in humans remains unclear. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with variable additional features. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants, consistent with a recessive inheritance pattern.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.
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.
