ADAM30
Title: ADAM30: A Gene Linked to Multiple Diseases
Description:
ADAM30 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase 30) is a protein-coding gene that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with several diseases, including neurodevelopmental disorders, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer.
Associated Diseases:
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Mutations in ADAM30 have been linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability, and seizures.
- Cardiovascular Conditions: ADAM30 is involved in blood vessel formation and function. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital heart defects, atherosclerosis, and hypertension.
- Cancer: ADAM30 has been implicated in the development and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia.
Did you Know ?
- Studies have shown that mutations in ADAM30 are present in approximately 1% of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
