ZNF337
Chr 20zinc finger protein 337
This gene encodes a zinc finger protein that may be involved in transcriptional regulation, though its specific function remains undetermined. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.004, LOEUF 1.617), suggesting tolerance to protein-disrupting mutations. No established disease associations have been reported for ZNF337 mutations.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
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.
