ZNF532
Chr 18zinc finger protein 532
ZNF532 encodes a transcription factor that binds DNA and regulates gene transcription in the nucleus. Mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorders with intellectual disability and developmental delay, following an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.99, LOEUF 0.30), indicating that functional copies are essential for normal development.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly LoF-intolerant (top ~10% of genes)
Moderately missense-constrained (top ~2.5%)
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
