ZNF394

Chr 7

zinc finger protein 394

Also known as: ZKSCAN14, ZSCAN46

NCBI Gene: 84124ENSG00000160908UniProt: Q53GI3

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein that inhibits the transcription of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. The encoded protein may be involved in cardiac function. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 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.

Synonymous OE?Control metric — synonymous variants are largely neutral and expected near OE = 1.0. Significant deviation may indicate annotation issues.1.10
