ZNF597

Chr 16

zinc finger protein 597

Also known as: HIT-4

NCBI Gene: 146434ENSG00000167981UniProt: Q96LX8

This gene encodes a protein with multiple zinc finger domains. Loss of the related gene in rodents results in defects in neural development and embryonic lethality in mutant homozygotes. This gene is adjacent to a differentially methylated region (DMR) and is imprinted and maternally expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

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.

Tolerant

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.
