ZNF362

Chr 1

zinc finger protein 362

Also known as: LIN29, RN, lin-29

The ZNF362 protein is a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates gene transcription by RNA polymerase II in the nucleus. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.94, LOEUF 0.35), suggesting that mutations would likely cause significant developmental or neurological phenotypes, though specific disease associations have not yet been established in humans.

Clinical SummaryZNF362
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 0.94). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
