RNF138
Chr 18ring finger protein 138
Also known as: HSD-4, NARF, STRIN, hNARF
This E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase promotes DNA double-strand break repair through homologous recombination and regulates Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathways. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with growth retardation, typically presenting in early childhood. The gene shows significant constraint against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.51), indicating that complete loss of protein function is poorly tolerated.
