UTP14C
Chr 13UTP14C small subunit processome component
Also known as: 2700066J21Rik, KIAA0266, UTP14B
UTP14C encodes a protein essential for spermatogenesis that is required for ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis during male meiosis. Mutations cause male infertility due to impaired spermatogenesis, following an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. This gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants in the general population.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Tolerant to missense variation
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.
