Title: FAM198A: An Enigmatic Gene Linked to Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Description:

FAM198A is a gene that encodes a protein called family with sequence similarity 198, member A. This protein is involved in several cellular processes, including RNA metabolism and protein synthesis. Mutations in the FAM198A gene have been linked to a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and epilepsy.

Associated Diseases:

• Intellectual disability
• Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
• Epilepsy
• Microcephaly (small head size)
• Developmental delay
• Speech and language impairments
• Motor coordination difficulties
