RNF220

Chr 1AR

ring finger protein 220

Also known as: C1orf164, HLD23

This E3 ubiquitin ligase regulates Wnt signaling through beta-catenin stabilization and plays a critical role in nuclear lamina regulation. Biallelic mutations cause autosomal recessive hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 23, a multisystem disorder involving ataxia, deafness, liver dysfunction, and dilated cardiomyopathy. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 1.0, LOEUF 0.20), indicating intolerance to protein disruption.

Clinical SummaryRNF220
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
