Clinical relevance (Genomics England PanelApp)

Moderate Evidence (Amber)

  • Intellectual disability

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
  • Rare syndromic craniosynostosis or isolated multisuture synostosis

Score is the Open Targets composite evidence score (0-1). Higher = stronger gene-disease association.

Protein function (UniProt)

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Praja-1

Has E2-dependent E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. Ubiquitinates MAGED1 antigen leading to its subsequent degradation by proteasome (By similarity). May be involved in protein sorting
