THAP3

Chr 1

THAP domain containing 3

THAP3 encodes a transcription factor that binds DNA and regulates RNA polymerase II transcription as part of a complex with THAP1, HCFC1, and OGT. Currently, no established Mendelian diseases have been linked to mutations in this gene, though it appears relatively tolerant to loss-of-function variation based on population genetic data.

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.
