caption_attribution_description: English: This graph shows a relationship between patients with myotonic dystrophy type 2 and control. Based on the graph, control patients have significantly higher ZNF800 expression than patients with myotonic dystrophy, suggesting there may be some relationship.
context_page_description: Zinc Finger Protein 800 or ZNF800 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF800 gene. The specific function of ZNF800 is not yet well understood by the scientific community.
context_section_description: While there is no obvious link so far between ZNF800 and specific diseases it may cause, several studies on GEO Profiles have shown a correlation between ZNF800 and disease condition, including a correlation between increased ZNF800 expression and  chronic B-lymphocytic leukemia (ZNF800 GEO Profile 1), as well as a correlation between decreased ZNF800 expression and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (GEO Profile of ZNF800 Figure 2).
  The 20 most common SNP's in the protein coding sequence of ZNF800 were analyzed, of these, the most common was still found in only 10% of the population. Of these mutations, none were in the zinc finger binding portions of ZNF800.
