Ubiquitin-spezifische Protease 18
Das USP18-Gen kodiert ein Enzym welches das Ubiquitin von unbiquitinierten Proteinen abtrennt. Bei Mutationen kommt es zu einer Akkumulation solcher Ubiquitin-konjugierter Proteine. Die dabei entstehende autosomal rezessive Erkrankung wird Pseudo-TORCH-Syndrom 2 bezeichnet.
