DGCR6 - DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 6 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About DGCR6
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 203 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in heart (RPKM 20.8), testis (RPKM 17.8) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
DiGeorge syndrome, and more widely, the CATCH 22 syndrome, are associated with microdeletions in chromosomal region 22q11.2. The product of this gene shares homology with the Drosophila melanogaster gonadal protein, which participates in gonadal and germ cell development, and with the gamma-1 subunit of human laminin. This gene is a candidate for involvement in DiGeorge syndrome pathology and in schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
