ZNF174

Chr 16

zinc finger protein 174

Also known as: ZSCAN8

NCBI Gene: 7727ENSG00000103343UniProt: Q15697

This gene encodes a protein with three Cys2-His2-type zinc fingers in the carboxy-terminus, a putative nuclear localization signal, and an amino-terminus SCAN box which forms homodimers. This protein is believed to function as a transcriptional repressor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Population Genetics & Constraint

gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance

gnomAD
Tolerant — LoF & missense variants common in population
LoF Constraint?LOEUF (Loss-of-function Observed/Expected Upper bound Fraction) is the upper bound of the 90% CI for LoF OE — the preferred gnomAD v4 metric. Lower = more intolerant to LoF. LOEUF < 0.35 = highly constrained.

Typical tolerance to LoF variation

Missense Constraint?Missense Z-score: standard deviations fewer missense variants observed vs. expected. Z > 3.09 (p < 0.001) = gene does not tolerate missense variation. OE missense < 0.6 is also considered constrained.
