FAM96A: A Gene Linked to Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Description:
FAM96A (Family with Sequence Similarity 96, Member A) encodes a protein of unknown function, but it is believed to play a role in neuronal development and synaptic function.
Associated Diseases:
Mutations in the FAM96A gene have been linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, including:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Intellectual disability
- Developmental delay
- Epilepsy
- Microcephaly (small head size)
- Congenital heart defects
