Abstract
Armfield X-linked disability (XLID) disorder has previously been linked to a locus in Xq28. Here, the authors report rare missense variants in FAM50A at Xq28, show that FAM50A interacts with the spliceosome, and that mis-splicing is enriched in knockout zebrafish suggesting it is a spliceosomopathy.
