RNF183 encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that catalyzes protein ubiquitination and triggers apoptosis during prolonged endoplasmic reticulum stress by degrading the anti-apoptotic protein BCL2L1. Currently, no human diseases have been definitively associated with RNF183 mutations in the medical literature.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

GOFprediction above median
DNprediction above median

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
