ZNF721
ZNF721 (Zinc finger protein 721) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Overview
May be involved in transcriptional regulation.
IntOGen calls it a driver in 1 cohort (1 activating, 0 loss-of-function), covering Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: IntOGen calls it an activating (Act) driver in 1 cohort. Evidence tier "cohort-driver" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
