Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ZFHX3 gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Function: FUNCTION: Transcriptional regulator which can act as an activator or a repressor. Inhibits the enhancer element of the AFP gene by binding to its AT-rich core sequence. In concert with SMAD- dependent TGF-beta signaling can repress the transcription of AFP via its interaction with SMAD2/3 (PubMed:25105025). Regulates the circadian locomotor rhythms via transcriptional activation of neuropeptidergic genes which are essential for intercellular synchrony and rhythm amplitude in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain (By similarity). Regulator of myoblasts differentiation through the binding to the AT-rich sequence of MYF6 promoter and promoter repression (PubMed:11312261). Down- regulates the MUC5AC promoter in gastric cancer (PubMed:17330845). In association with RUNX3, upregulates CDKN1A promoter activity following TGF-beta stimulation (PubMed:20599712). Inhibits estrogen receptor (ESR1) function by selectively competing with coactivator NCOA3 for binding to ESR1 in ESR1-positive breast cancer cells (PubMed:20720010). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61329, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11312261, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17330845, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20599712, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20720010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25105025}.
