MORF4L2
Chr Xmortality factor 4 like 2
Also known as: MORFL2, MRGX
The protein is a component of the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex that regulates gene transcription through chromatin modification and participates in DNA double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Mutations cause autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder with variable intellectual disability, behavioral abnormalities, and dysmorphic features. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that such mutations are likely to be pathogenic.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
