WDR62 - WD repeat domain 62 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as MCPH2; C19orf14

Gene ID: 284403 | Gene type: protein coding

About WDR62

Cytogenetic location: 19q13.12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:36,054,897-36,111,145 (from NCBI)

This gene has 40 transcripts (splice variants), 116 orthologues, 26 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 39.3), bone marrow (RPKM 4.7) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
