Function

This gene encodes a zinc-finger protein. Low-percent homology to certain collagens suggests that it may function as a transcription factor or extra-nuclear regulator factor for the synthesis or organization of collagen fibers. Mutations in this gene cause brittle cornea syndrome.[5]

Clinical significance

Mutations in ZNF469 are associated to keratoconus.[6] as well as a type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome called brittle cornea syndrome.
