HSFY2
Chr Yheat shock transcription factor Y-linked 2
Also known as: HSF2L, HSFY
This gene encodes a heat shock factor family transcriptional activator that regulates heat shock protein expression and is located on the Y chromosome in a region associated with male infertility. Deletions affecting this gene are linked to azoospermia in males. As a Y-linked gene, it follows patrilineal inheritance from father to son.
Population Genetics & Constraint
Constraint data not available from gnomAD.
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.
