CNOT3 (HGNC: 7879) encodes the CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 3, which is a component of the CCR4-NOT complex. The protein plays as a global regulator of RNA polymerase II transcription. Genetic predisposition in CNOT3 have been observed in patients with ID/ASD (PMID: 31201375; 32720325; 31474762), T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PMID: 23263491), lung cancer (PMID: 31177396; PMID: 3053184), polyposis adenomas (PMID: 31231471); colorectal cancer (PMID: 2789937). Typical phenotypes of complex neurodevelopmental disorder (MONDO: 0100038) have been repeatedly observed across studies, and identical variants detected in unrelated probands inherited by autosomal dominant mechanism (HP:0000006). CNOT3 de novo missense and LOF variants, which are absent from gnomAD, have been found in patients from a DDD study (PMID: 31201375) or other study (PMID: 31474762) with identical clinical presentations of ID/ASD, hypotonia and dysmorphic features. Familial transmission of LOF variants have been observed in two families with history of ID (PMID: 32720325). Genetic evidence reached the max score of 12 points. There are no functional studies present in the literature. In summary, CNOT3 is definitively associated with complex neurodevelopmental disorder. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Intellectual Disability and Autism Gene Curation Expert Panel on 08/24/2021 (SOP Version 8).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_014516.4. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Component of the CCR4-NOT complex which is one of the major cellular mRNA deadenylases and is linked to various cellular processes including bulk mRNA degradation, miRNA-mediated repression, translational repression during translational initiation and general transcription regulation. Additional complex functions may be a consequence of its influence on mRNA expression. May be involved in metabolic regulation; may be involved in recruitment of the CCR4-NOT complex to deadenylation target mRNAs involved in energy metabolism. Involved in mitotic progression and regulation of the spindle assembly checkpoint by regulating the stability of MAD1L1 mRNA. Can repress transcription and may link the CCR4-NOT complex to transcriptional regulation; the repressive function may involve histone deacetylases. Involved in the maintenance of emryonic stem (ES) cell identity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14707134, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22342980, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22367759}.;
