RNF169

Chr 11

ring finger protein 169

NCBI Gene: 254225ENSG00000166439UniProt: Q8NCN4

Enables K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity; nucleosome binding activity; and ubiquitin-modified histone reader activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination and negative regulation of double-strand break repair. Located in cytosol; nuclear lumen; and site of double-strand break.

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Constrained for loss-of-function variants (OE-LoF 0.29) despite low pLI — interpret in context.

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.
0.55LOEUF
pLI 0.040
Z-score 3.20
OE 0.29 (0.17–0.55)
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.

Observed / Expected Ratios?Shaded band = 90% confidence interval. Vertical tick = point estimate. Grey threshold line = gnomAD constraint cutoff for that variant class.
LoF OE?Ratio of observed to expected LoF variants. Upper CI bound (LOEUF) ≤ 0.35 = strong LoF constraint signal.0.29 (0.17–0.55)
0≤0.351.4
Missense OE?Ratio of observed to expected missense variants. OE ≤ 0.6 = fewer missense variants than expected by chance.0.94 (0.86–1.04)
0≤0.61.4
Synonymous OE?Control metric — synonymous variants are largely neutral and expected near OE = 1.0. Significant deviation may indicate annotation issues.1.22
