{"symbol":"ZMYM3","synonyms":["XFIM","ZNF261","ZNF198L2","DXS6673E"],"name":"zinc finger, MYM-type 3","description":"This gene is located on the X chromosome and is subject to X inactivation. It is highly conserved in vertebrates and most abundantly expressed in the brain. The encoded protein is a component of histone deacetylase-containing multiprotein complexes that function through modifying chromatin structure to keep genes silent. A chromosomal translocation (X;13) involving this gene is associated with X-linked cognitive disability. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
