NR2C2

Chr 3

nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group C member 2

Also known as: TAK1, TR4

This gene encodes an orphan nuclear receptor that functions as a ligand-independent transcription factor, regulating gene expression during early embryonic development, spermatogenesis, and cerebellum development by binding to hormone response elements and modulating various nuclear receptor signaling pathways. Mutations cause autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorders with cerebellar involvement and intellectual disability. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variation in the population, indicating that such mutations are likely to be pathogenic.

Clinical SummaryNR2C2
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
