Biallelic loss-of-function UBA5 mutations in a patient with intractable West syndrome and profound failure to thrive.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of the gene encoding ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 5 (UBA5) causes autosomal recessive early-onset epileptic encephalopathy. UBA5 acts as an E1-activating enzyme in the ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 pathway, which is important for unfolded protein elimination and regulation of apoptosis, and has been linked to human diseases. We identified biallelic mutations in UBA5 in a Japanese boy with...
