Description

RIPPLY2 encodes a transcriptional repressor involved in somitogenesis, specifically in the segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm. It acts downstream of the Notch signaling pathway to regulate the cyclic expression of segmentation clock genes. Mutations in RIPPLY2 are associated with autosomal recessive spondylocostal dysostosis type 6.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Spondylocostal dysostosis 6, autosomal recessive Loss-of-function mutations impair transcriptional repression of segmentation genes, leading to vertebral and rib malformations. OMIM #616566; PMID: 25728777

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.1A>G (p.Met1?) Missense Rare Loss of start codon, likely loss of function
c.2T>C (p.Met1Thr) Missense Rare Loss of start codon, likely loss of function
c.3G>A (p.Met1Ile) Missense Rare Loss of start codon, likely loss of function
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Mutations causing loss of start codon or premature truncation lead to loss of repressor activity, associated with spondylocostal dysostosis.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported.

Dominant Negative (DN)

No dominant-negative mutations reported.

Pathways

Notch signaling pathway (involved in segmentation clock)
Somite segmentation

Protein Summary

RIPPLY2 is a 244-amino acid nuclear protein containing a Ripply family domain. It functions as a transcriptional repressor by interacting with TLE corepressors and binding to DNA via homeodomain factors. It is transiently expressed in the presomitic mesoderm and plays a critical role in establishing segment boundaries.
