USP17L21
Chr 4ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 21
The protein is a deubiquitinating enzyme that removes ubiquitin from specific proteins to regulate cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and cellular responses to viral infection. Currently, no Mendelian diseases have been definitively associated with mutations in this gene. The clinical significance of variants in USP17L21 remains to be established.
Population Genetics & Constraint
Constraint data not available from gnomAD.
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.
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.
