TADA3

Chr 3

transcriptional adaptor 3

Also known as: ADA3, NGG1, STAF54, TADA3L, hADA3

The protein functions as a component of histone acetyltransferase complexes (PCAF and ATAC) that acetylate histones and regulate chromatin structure, and serves as a coactivator for p53-dependent transcriptional activation. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with developmental delay affecting the central nervous system. This gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants.

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Low constraint (pLI 0.00) — loss-of-function variants are relatively tolerated in the population.

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.
