DNMT3B

{{Short description|Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens}} {{cs1 config|name-list-style=vanc}} {{Infobox_gene}} '''DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3 beta''', is an enzyme that in humans in encoded by the '''DNMT3B''' gene.<ref name="entrez" /> Mutation in this gene are associated with immunodeficiency, centromere instability and facial anomalies syndrome.<ref name="Ehrlich_2003" />

== Function ==

CpG methylation is an epigenetic modification that is important for embryonic development, imprinting, and X-chromosome inactivation. Studies in mice have demonstrated that DNA methylation is required for mammalian development. This gene encodes a DNA methyltransferase which is thought to function in ''de novo'' methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. The protein localizes primarily to the nucleus and its expression is developmentally regulated. Eight alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. The full length sequences of variants 4 and 5 have not been determined.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: DNMT3B DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3 beta| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=1789}}</ref>

== Clinical significance ==

Immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is a result of defects in lymphocyte maturation resulting from aberrant DNA methylation caused by mutations in the DNMT3B gene.<ref name="Ehrlich_2003">{{cite journal | vauthors = Ehrlich M | title = The ICF syndrome, a DNA methyltransferase 3B deficiency and immunodeficiency disease | journal = Clinical Immunology | volume = 109 | issue = 1 | pages = 17–28 | date = October 2003 | pmid = 14585272 | doi = 10.1016/S1521-6616(03)00201-8 }}</ref>
