KRAB Zinc Finger Protein
This gene encodes a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain found in transcriptional repressors. This gene may be methylated and silenced in cancer cells. This gene is located within a differentially methylated region (DMR) and shows allele-specific expression in placenta. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
Forensic Context
A study in human neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) identified the ZNF331 as one of 11 significant genes in common between high-income and South Asian cohorts associated with adverse outcome, where it was downregulated in the high-income cohort but upregulated in the South Asian cohort in neonates with adverse outcome [Montaldo et al. DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.54433].
