PRR7
Chr 5proline rich 7, synaptic
PRR7 encodes a protein that acts as a synapse-to-nucleus messenger promoting NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity and regulates transcription factor JUN activity by inhibiting its degradation and promoting its phosphorylation. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI = 0.87, LOEUF = 0.45), but no specific human disease has been definitively associated with PRR7 mutations to date. Given its role in neuronal excitotoxicity and apoptosis, mutations would likely follow an autosomal inheritance pattern and potentially affect the central nervous system.
