Zinc finger protein PLAGL1

The PLAGL1 gene encodes a transcription factor. It shares the promotor with the HYMAI, which is maternally imprinted. Loss of imprinting results in an overexpression of the gene, and a transient neonatal diabetes mellitus ensues. Other paternal overexpression syndromes with same condition include uniparental disomy and gene duplications. This type of diabetes is also called 6q24 associated.
