ZNF774

Chr 15

zinc finger protein 774

The protein is predicted to function as a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription in the nucleus. Currently, no specific genetic diseases have been definitively associated with ZNF774 mutations in clinical practice. The gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near zero), suggesting it may tolerate such changes without causing severe disease.

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.
