ZNF205

Chr 16

zinc finger protein 205

ZNF205 encodes a transcriptional repressor that regulates MPV17L expression and contributes to hydrogen peroxide metabolism and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways. The gene shows low constraint to loss-of-function variation (pLI = 0.03, LOEUF = 0.56), but no established human disease associations have been reported to date. Clinical significance of ZNF205 variants in pediatric neurological disorders remains to be determined.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (dominant-negative and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to dominant-negative as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

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.
