RNF224

Chr 9

ring finger protein 224

RNF224 encodes a protein predicted to bind zinc ions. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, though the clinical spectrum is still being defined. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variation (pLI 0.04, LOEUF 1.76), and inheritance patterns for associated conditions remain unclear.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.

GOFprediction 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.
