SP7

protein-coding

Sp7 transcription factor, the group of Zinc fingers C2H2-type|Sp transcription factors

Gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the Sp subfamily of Sp/XKLF transcription factors. Sp family proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins characterized by an amino-terminal trans-activation domain and three carboxy-terminal zinc finger motifs. This protein is a bone specific transcription factor and is required for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001173467.3. 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: Transcriptional activator essential for osteoblast differentiation (PubMed:23457570). Binds to SP1 and EKLF consensus sequences and to other G/C-rich sequences (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VI67, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23457570}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Osteogenesis imperfecta 12 (OI12) [MIM:613849]: A form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a connective tissue disorder characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI12 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by recurrent fractures, mild bone deformations, generalized osteoporosis, delayed teeth eruption, no dentinogenesis imperfecta, normal hearing, and white sclerae. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20579626}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
