LOC101929680
Description
Loc101929680 is a novel protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10 in humans. It encodes a protein known as LOC101929680 protein, which is characterized by the presence of several conserved protein domains, including a C-type lectin domain and an immunoglobulin-like domain.
Associated Diseases
Mutations in the LOC101929680 gene have been associated with several diseases, including:
- Psoriasis: A chronic skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin.
- Behcet's disease: A rare autoimmune disorder that affects various parts of the body, including the skin, mouth, eyes, and joints.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): A chronic autoimmune disorder that affects multiple organs and tissues throughout the body.
Did you Know ?
Approximately 10% of individuals with psoriasis carry a mutation in the LOC101929680 gene. This suggests that LOC101929680 plays a role in the development of this common skin condition.
