ZNF488
Chr 10zinc finger protein 488
ZNF488 encodes a transcriptional repressor that promotes oligodendrocyte differentiation and contributes to remyelination following nerve injury by mediating Notch signaling pathways. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with white matter abnormalities, affecting central nervous system development and myelination. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely pathogenic.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
