NR1D1

Chr 17

nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 1

Also known as: EAR1, REVERBA, REVERBalpha, THRA1, THRAL, ear-1, hRev

NCBI Gene: 9572ENSG00000126368UniProt: P20393

This gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the nuclear receptor subfamily 1. The encoded protein is a ligand-sensitive transcription factor that negatively regulates the expression of core clock proteins. In particular this protein represses the circadian clock transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 (ARNTL). This protein may also be involved in regulating genes that function in metabolic, inflammatory and cardiovascular processes. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Population Genetics & Constraint

gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance

gnomAD
Moderate LoF intolerance
LoF Constraint?LOEUF (Loss-of-function Observed/Expected Upper bound Fraction) is the upper bound of the 90% CI for LoF OE — the preferred gnomAD v4 metric. Lower = more intolerant to LoF. LOEUF < 0.35 = highly constrained.

pLI 0.818
Z-score 3.69
OE 0.17 (0.08–0.39)
Moderately constrained

More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes

Missense Constraint?Missense Z-score: standard deviations fewer missense variants observed vs. expected. Z > 3.09 (p < 0.001) = gene does not tolerate missense variation. OE missense < 0.6 is also considered constrained.
