DPPA2

Chr 3

developmental pluripotency associated 2

Also known as: CT100, ECAT15-2, PESCRG1

DPPA2 encodes a chromatin-binding protein that binds to target gene promoters and maintains active epigenetic status of genes involved in development. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI ~0, LOEUF 1.36), but no definitive human disease associations have been established in the provided data. Current evidence suggests involvement in developmental processes and stem cell regulation, but clinical phenotypes from DPPA2 mutations require further characterization.
