Loc101928404: An Intriguing Gene with Diverse Implications
Description
LOC101928404 is a gene located on chromosome 17q11.2. It encodes a protein known as armadillo repeat-containing protein 7 (ARMC7). ARMC7 is involved in several cellular processes, including cell migration, adhesion, and signal transduction.
Associated Diseases
Mutations in the LOC101928404 gene have been linked to several diseases, including:
- Global developmental delay (GDD): GDD is characterized by a significant delay in the acquisition of motor skills, speech, and social development.
- Intellectual disability (ID): ID encompasses a wide range of cognitive impairments that affect everyday functioning.
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD): ASD is a complex developmental disorder that affects social interactions, communication, and repetitive behaviors.
Did you Know ?
According to a recent study, approximately 1 in 8,000 individuals worldwide carry a mutation in the LOC101928404 gene. This makes it one of the most common genes associated with GDD, ID, and ASD.
