GATA3

protein-coding

GATA binding protein 3, the group of GATA zinc finger domain containing

Gene summary

This gene encodes a protein which belongs to the GATA family of transcription factors. The protein contains two GATA-type zinc fingers and is an important regulator of T-cell development and plays an important role in endothelial cell biology. Defects in this gene are the cause of hypoparathyroidism with sensorineural deafness and renal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Inheritance Pattern: AD

Submitter: ClinGen

GATA3 was reported in relation to autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism-deafness-renal disease syndrome in 1995 (Pandolfi PMID: 7550312). At least 8 unique variant (missense, nonsense, frameshift, etc.) have been reported in humans. Evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship includes case-level, segregation and experimental data. Variants in this gene have been reported in at least 9 probands in 7 publications (PMIDs: 10935639, 11389161, 21120445, 26316437, 25771973, 27387476, 30396722). More evidence is available in the literature, but the maximum score for genetic evidence (12 pt.) has been reached. In summary, GATA3 is definitively associated with autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism-deafness-renal disease syndrome. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Gene Curation Expert Panel on 6/18/19.

Manifestation: Audiologic/Otolaryngologic; Endocrine; Renal

Intervention: Audiologic/Otolaryngologic; Endocrine; Renal

Rationale: Early recognition of electrolyte abnormalitities (eg, hypocalcemia) can allow prompt treatment in order to avoid severe sequelae; Individuals may also have deafness of varying ages of onset, and may benefit from early recognition and treatment of hearing impairment

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001002295.2. 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.
