ZNF746
protein-codingzinc finger protein 746, the group of Zinc fingers C2H2-type
Gene summary
Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in protein complex oligomerization and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol. Implicated in late onset Parkinson's disease.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001394198.1. 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.
