Added comment: PMID 42082826 reports 5 affected females from a single consanguineous Iranian family with premature ovarian insufficiency and a homozygous missense variant in BIRC6 (p.Arg3756Cys). The variant segregated in 4 affected females (5th not tested) and in an unaffected male sibling, indicating female‑limited penetrance. Mother was an unaffected carrier. A zebrafish birc6 knockout recapitulates POI‑like reproductive deficits (reduced fecundity, aberrant oocyte morphology, and elevated embryonic death). BIRC6 encodes a large inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein that suppresses programmed cell death by targeting executioner caspases for ubiquitin‑mediated degradation and participates in autophagy and DNA‑damage response.
