WDR73
Description
The WDR73 gene, encodes a protein called WD repeat-containing protein 73. This protein plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and protein degradation. WDR73 interacts with numerous other proteins, forming complex molecular machinery essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Mutations in the WDR73 gene can disrupt these vital processes, leading to a range of genetic disorders.
Associated Diseases
- Cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome (COFS)
- Alazami syndrome
- Spondylocostal dysostosis
- Joubert syndrome
Did you know?
WDR73 is a highly conserved gene, meaning its sequence is very similar across different species, highlighting its importance for basic cellular functions.
