UTP11
Chr 1UTP11 small subunit processome component
Also known as: CGI-94, CGI94, UTP11L
UTP11 encodes a protein that is part of the small subunit processome and is essential for ribosomal small subunit biogenesis, specifically involved in nucleolar processing of pre-18S ribosomal RNA. Mutations cause microcephaly with early-onset seizures and severe developmental delay, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants, which is consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern observed in affected patients.
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.
