Relevance to Autism
De novo missense variants in the PHF14 gene have been identified in an ASD proband from the SPARK cohort (Feliciano et al., 2019) and the Autism Sequencing Consortium cohort (Satterstrom et al., 2020), while additional rare de novo non-coding variation in this gene has also been observed in ASD probands (Sanders et al., 2015; Yuen et al., 2017). Zhou et al., 2022 reported that PHF14 forms a complex with MECP2 and TCF20; in the same report, the authors described two individuals with de novo variants in PHF14 who presented with neurodevelopmental phenotypes, including a patient with a de novo PHF14 missense variant that abolished the MECP2-PHF14-TCF20 interaction.
Molecular Function
Predicted to enable histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in histone H3-K14 acetylation and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including lung alveolus development; negative regulation of mesenchymal cell proliferation involved in lung development; and negative regulation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of MOZ/MORF histone acetyltransferase complex.
