Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
116 kDa U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein component is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EFTUD2 gene.[5][6]
Disease associations
Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in EFTUD2 cause Mandibulofacial Dysostosis with Microcephaly (MFDM; OMIM #610536),[7] a multiple malformation syndrome comprising progressive microcephaly (present in all affected individuals), craniofacial skeletal anomalies, cleft palate, deafness, choanal atresia, small stature, and/or cardiac and thumb anomalies.
Interactions
EFTUD2 has been shown to interact with WDR57[8][9] and PRPF8.[9]
