ZMAT1

Chr X

zinc finger matrin-type 1

This gene encodes a protein containing C2H2-type zinc fingers similar to those in nuclear matrix protein matrin 3. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with seizures, developmental delay, and behavioral abnormalities. The gene shows low constraint to loss-of-function variants, consistent with recessive inheritance patterns.

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

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.
