c10orf107: Unlocking the Mysteries of a Gene Linked to Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Description
c10orf107, also known as chromosome 10 open reading frame 107, is a human gene located on the short arm of chromosome 10. It encodes a protein of unknown function that is widely expressed in the brain, particularly in regions involved in cognitive and behavioral functions.
Associated Diseases
Mutations in the c10orf107 gene have been linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, including:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Intellectual disability
- Developmental delay
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
These disorders are characterized by a range of symptoms, including difficulties with social interaction, communication, and cognitive functioning.
Did you Know ?
Recent studies have shown that mutations in the c10orf107 gene are present in approximately 1% of individuals with ASD. This suggests that c10orf107 plays a significant role in the development of this disorder.
