FOXJ3
Chr 1forkhead box J3
This protein functions as a transcriptional activator that regulates MEF2C and plays important roles in skeletal muscle fiber identity, muscle regeneration, and spermatogenesis. Mutations cause autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorders with intellectual disability, developmental delays, and various congenital anomalies. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function mutations, indicating intolerance to protein-disrupting variants.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly LoF-intolerant (top ~10% of genes)
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
