USP11

Chr X

ubiquitin specific peptidase 11

Also known as: UHX1

USP11 encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme that removes ubiquitin from target proteins, regulating protein degradation, DNA repair, and cell cycle progression through stabilization of key substrates like E2F1. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI=1.0, LOEUF=0.17) and is located on the X chromosome. Mutations in USP11 cause X-linked intellectual disability with variable features that may include developmental delay and neurological manifestations.

Clinical SummaryUSP11
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.
