ATXN7
Chr 3ADataxin 7
Acts as a component of the SAGA (aka STAGA) transcription coactivator-HAT complex (PubMed:15932940, PubMed:18206972). Mediates the interaction of SAGA complex with the CRX and is involved in CRX-dependent gene activation (PubMed:15932940, PubMed:18206972). Probably involved in tethering the deubiquitination module within the SAGA complex (PubMed:24493646). Necessary for microtubule cytoskeleton stabilization (PubMed:22100762). Involved in neurodegeneration (PubMed:9288099)

Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly LoF-intolerant (top ~10% of genes)
Tolerant to missense variation
This gene — mechanism propensity
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
