HSFX1
protein-codingheat shock transcription factor family, X-linked 1
Gene summary
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA-templated transcription and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript . 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.
