ZNF624

Chr 17

zinc finger protein 624

NCBI Gene: 57547ENSG00000197566UniProt: Q9P2J8

This gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that binds DNA and regulates gene transcription by RNA polymerase II in the nucleus. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.488), but no definitive disease associations have been established for ZNF624 mutations in current medical literature. Clinical significance of variants in this gene requires careful evaluation given the limited phenotypic data available.

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.

GOFprediction above median

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.
