CREB3
Chr 9cAMP responsive element binding protein 3
Also known as: LUMAN, LZIP, sLZIP
CREB3 encodes an endoplasmic reticulum-bound transcription factor that regulates the unfolded protein response, cell proliferation, and leukocyte migration by directly binding DNA and activating target gene transcription. Mutations cause autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta with bone fragility and skeletal deformities. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants, consistent with its recessive inheritance pattern.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
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.
