BUD13 encodes BUD13 spliceosome associated protein (619 aa). Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the activated spliceosome. As a component of the minor spliceosome, involved in the splicing of U12-type introns in pre-mRNAs Highest expression in Testis (45.4 TPM) and Uterus (34.7 TPM).
Achalasia-progeroid syndrome is associated with mutations in the BUD13 gene on chromosome 11.
BUD13 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for BUD13 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for achalasia-progeroid syndrome has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 12 always present features, 3 very common features, 7 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for achalasia-progeroid syndrome.
201 publications have been identified in PubMed for achalasia-progeroid syndrome. Kisho has analyzed 79 by research type. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (73%), Basic Science / Preclinical (15%), and Epidemiology / Natural History (5%).
