S.NOUniprot ID Protein Name Sequence LengthWW Repeats regionDisease
1 Q9NZC7 WW domain-containing oxidoreductase 414"DISEASE: Note=Defects in WWOX may be involved in several cancer types.
The gene spans the second most common chromosomal fragile site (FRA16D) which is frequently altered in cancers (PubMed:10861292).
Alteration of the expression and expression of some isoforms is associated with cancers.
However, it is still unclear if alteration of WWOX is directly implicated in cancerogenesis or if it corresponds to a secondary effect (PubMed:10861292, PubMed:11572989, PubMed:15266310, PubMed:15073125, PubMed:15131042).
; DISEASE: Esophageal cancer (ESCR) [MIM:133239]: A malignancy of the esophagus.
The most common types are esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
Cancer of the esophagus remains a devastating disease because it is usually not detected until it has progressed to an advanced incurable stage.
Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive, 12 (SCAR12) [MIM:614322]: Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders.
Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord.
SCAR12 is additionally characterized by onset of generalized seizures in infancy, and delayed psychomotor development with mental retardation.
Some patients may also show spasticity.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 28 (EIEE28) [MIM:616211]: A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe childhood onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis.
Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
2 Q86UL8 "Membrane-associated guanylate kinase, WW and PDZ domain-containing protein 2 "1455"DISEASE: Nephrotic syndrome 15 (NPHS15) [MIM:617609]: A form of nephrotic syndrome, a renal disease clinically characterized by severe proteinuria, resulting in complications such as hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and edema.
Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation.
NPHS15 is an autosomal recessive form with onset in the first months of life.
Disease severity is variable.
Some patients show rapid progression to end-stage renal failure.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
3 P46937 Transcriptional coactivator YAP1 504"DISEASE: Coloboma, ocular, with or without hearing impairment, cleft lip/palate, and/or mental retardation (COB1) [MIM:120433]: An autosomal dominant disease characterized by uveal colobomata, microphthalmia, cataract and cleft lip/palate.
Considerable variability is observed among patients, uveal colobomata being the most constant feature.
Some patients manifest mental retardation of varying degree and/or sensorineural, mid-frequency hearing loss.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
4 Q9P2P5 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase HECW2 1572"DISEASE: Neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, seizures, and absent language (NDHSAL) [MIM:617268]: A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severely delayed psychomotor development, absent speech, epilepsy, encephalopathy, hypotonia, dystonia/dyskinesia, and macrocephaly.
Brain imaging show cerebral atrophy, enlarged ventricles, and white matter abnormalities.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
5 O95817 BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3 575"DISEASE: Myopathy, myofibrillar, 6 (MFM6) [MIM:612954]: A form of myofibrillar myopathy, a group of chronic neuromuscular disorders characterized at ultrastructural level by disintegration of the sarcomeric Z disk and myofibrils, and replacement of the normal myofibrillar markings by small dense granules, or larger hyaline masses, or amorphous material.
MFM6 is characterized by early-onset of severe, progressive, diffuse muscle weakness associated with cardiomyopathy, severe respiratory insufficiency during adolescence, and a rigid spine in some patients.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Cardiomyopathy, dilated 1HH (CMD1HH) [MIM:613881]: A disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia.
Patients are at risk of premature death.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
6 Q96J02 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Itchy homolog 903"DISEASE: Autoimmune disease, multisystem, with facial dysmorphism (ADMFD) [MIM:613385]: A disorder characterized by organomegaly, failure to thrive, developmental delay, dysmorphic features and autoimmune inflammatory cell infiltration of the lungs, liver and gut.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
7 Q96PU5 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4-like 975"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.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
