Overview of Gene Research
FRMD5, a FERM (four-point-one, ezrin, radixin, and moesin) domain-containing protein, localizes at cell adherens junctions, stabilizes cell-cell contacts, and is involved in regulating cell motility. It interacts with proteins like p120-catenin, integrin β5 subunit, and ROCK1, and may be part of pathways related to tumor progression and cell-matrix adhesion [3,4,5]. Genetic studies in model organisms can help understand its functions [3].
In mice, deficiency of FRMD5 leads to neurodevelopmental dysfunction and autistic-like behavior, with morphological neuron abnormalities, synaptic dysfunction, and learning and memory deficits [2]. In humans, de novo missense variants in FRMD5 are associated with childhood-onset ataxia, nystagmus, seizures, and developmental delay. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) shows that FRMD5 belongs to gene networks involved in neurodevelopment and oligodendrocyte function [1,3]. A missense variant in FRMD5 also segregates with a novel autosomal dominant form of early-onset episodic nystagmus [6].
In summary, FRMD5 plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment and is associated with various neurological disorders. Studies on FRMD5-deficient mouse models have significantly contributed to understanding its role in these disease conditions, highlighting its importance in both normal biological processes and disease pathophysiology [1,2,3,6].
