NEURL4

Chr 17

neuralized E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 4

NEURL4 encodes a protein that promotes CCP110 ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation, maintaining normal centriolar homeostasis and preventing formation of ectopic microtubular organizing centers. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 1.0, LOEUF 0.21), suggesting that mutations would likely cause severe developmental phenotypes. However, no specific human disease has been definitively associated with NEURL4 mutations to date.

Clinical SummaryNEURL4
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
