Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: EVR6; RP72
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene contains ten tandem zinc fingers and an N-terminal SET domain, so it is likely a DNA binding protein that interacts with other proteins. In adults, the encoded protein is expressed most highly in retina. Consequently, defects in this gene have been associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Genetic and clinical characteristics of ZNF408-related familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
Title: Genetic and clinical characteristics of ZNF408-related familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
p.H455Y ZNF408 has reduced DNA-binding ability, as compared to the wild-type protein. The fact that the p.H455Y mutation disrupts the expression of genes important for the development of vasculature sheds further light on the molecular mechanisms underlying ZNF408-associated familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
Title: An FEVR-associated mutation in ZNF408 alters the expression of genes involved in the development of vasculature.
In a Pakistani family with retinal degeneration, whole-exome sequencing identified 2 homozygous missense variants: c.1304G>A; p.Arg435Gln in ZNF408 (NM_024741) and c.902G>A; p.Gly301Asp in C1QTNF4 (NM_031909). Both segregated with the retinal phenotype in this family and were absent in ethnically matched control chromosomes.
Title: Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies Novel Variants that Co-segregates with Autosomal Recessive Retinal Degeneration in a Pakistani Pedigree.
This is the first study to report a group of patients with digenic familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). In most affected eyes, the stage was more severe than stage 3. We speculate that the phenotype of FEVR is more severe in patients with digenic rather than monogenic variants of FEVR-related genes.
Title: The characteristics of digenic familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
In conclusion, we report a novel mutation in ZNF408 causing autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa with vitreal alterations in three members of a Tunisian family, which further accentuates the role of this new gene in the susceptibility to retinitis pigmentosa.
Title: Exome sequencing confirms ZNF408 mutations as a cause of familial retinitis pigmentosa.
Several novel mutations (missense, non-stop and insertion) were detected in the coding regions of FZD4, TSPAN12 and ZNF408 genes among the unrelated vitreoretinopathy probands.
Title: Mutation spectrum of the FZD-4, TSPAN12 AND ZNF408 genes in Indian FEVR patients.
ZNF408, previously associated with Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), is a new gene causing autosomal recessive rtinitis pigmentosa.
Title: Whole-exome sequencing reveals ZNF408 as a new gene associated with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa with vitreal alterations.
Data indicate ZNF408 missense variant (p.Ser126Asn) in 132 familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) individuals in a Japanese family.
Title: ZNF408 is mutated in familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and is crucial for the development of zebrafish retinal vasculature.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
