Relevance to Autism
A rare missense variant in the RLIM gene (c.1067A>G; p.Tyr356Cys) segregated with disease in a three-generation Norwegian family with a novel X-linked intellectual disability syndrome characterized by autism, subtle facial dysmorphism, and severe feeding problems (Tonne et al., 2015).
Molecular Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a E3 ubiquitin protein ligase that targets LIM domain binding 1 (LDB1/CLIM) for proteasome-dependent degradation1. This protein and LDB1 are co-repressors of LHX1/LIM-1, a homeodomain transcription factor. By targeting ZFP42 for degradation, RLIM acts as an activator of random inactivation of X chromosome in the embryo.
