ZNF485

Chr 10

zinc finger protein 485

NCBI Gene: 220992ENSG00000198298UniProt: Q8NCK3

The protein is predicted to function as a DNA-binding transcription activator that regulates RNA polymerase II transcription in the nucleus. Currently, no established human diseases have been definitively linked to ZNF485 mutations. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI ~0, LOEUF ~1.0), suggesting it may tolerate heterozygous inactivating mutations.

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.
