SH3RF1

Chr 4

SH3 domain containing ring finger 1

Also known as: POSH, RNF142, SH3MD2

The protein functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in protein sorting at the trans-Golgi network and acts as a scaffold protein coordinating JNK signaling pathway components, playing a crucial role in neocortical neuron migration during brain development. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with neuronal migration defects. The gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.505), consistent with recessive inheritance where heterozygous carriers are typically unaffected.

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.
