Gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the Nedd4 family of HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligases. HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligases transfer ubiquitin from E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes to protein substrates, thus targeting specific proteins for lysosomal degradation. The encoded protein mediates the ubiquitination of multiple target substrates and plays a critical role in epithelial sodium transport by regulating the cell surface expression of the epithelial sodium channel, ENaC. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with essential hypertension. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

NEDD4L was first reported in relation to syndromic periventricular nodular heterotopia in 2016 (Broix et al., PMID 27694961). Evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship include case level data and experimental data. Variants in this gene have been reported in at least 15 probands in 5 publications, including at least 6 de novo missense variants (PMIDs: 27694961, 28515470, 30393983, 32117442, 34087865). To date, all reported cases have demonstrated periventricular nodular heterotopia and developmental delay; 13 of 15 probands demonstrated syndactyly, 8 demonstrated a cleft palate, and at least 5 demonstrated additional malformations of cortical development such as polymicrogyria. Recurrent variants are found in 11 of the reported cases (6 for one and 5 for the other). The mechanism of disease is dominant negative (PMID: 27694961). This gene-disease relationship is supported by animal models, in vitro studies of biochemical function, and cell culture assays using non-patient derived cells. More experimental evidence is available in the literature but not cited here, as a classification of definitive has been reached. In summary, NEDD4L is definitively associated with autosomal dominant periventricular nodular heterotopia 7. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Gene Curation Expert Panel on 11/30/2021 (SOP Version 8).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001144967.3. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Inhibits TGF-beta signaling by triggering SMAD2 and TGFBR1 ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation. Promotes ubiquitination and internalization of various plasma membrane channels such as ENaC, SCN2A/Nav1.2, SCN3A/Nav1.3, SCN5A/Nav1.5, SCN9A/Nav1.7, SCN10A/Nav1.8, KCNA3/Kv1.3, KCNH2, EAAT1, KCNQ2/Kv7.2, KCNQ3/Kv7.3 or CLC5 (PubMed:26363003, PubMed:27445338). Promotes ubiquitination and degradation of SGK1 and TNK2. Ubiquitinates BRAT1 and this ubiquitination is enhanced in the presence of NDFIP1 (PubMed:25631046). Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes (PubMed:23999003). Involved in the regulation of TOR signaling (PubMed:27694961). Ubiquitinates and regulates protein levels of NTRK1 once this one is activated by NGF (PubMed:27445338). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CFI0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12911626, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15040001, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15217910, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15489223, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15496141, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15576372, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19144635, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23999003, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25631046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26363003, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27445338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27694961}.;
- Disease
- DISEASE: Periventricular nodular heterotopia 7 (PVNH7) [MIM:617201]: A form of periventricular nodular heterotopia, a disorder resulting from a defect in the pattern of neuronal migration in which ectopic collections of neurons lie along the lateral ventricles of the brain or just beneath, contiguously or in isolated patches. PVNH7 is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability, and seizures in some patients. Additional features include cleft palate and toe syndactyly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27694961}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
