FAM86HP
Title: The Role of FAM86HP in Health and Disease
Description: FAM86HP, also known as Family with Sequence Similarity 86, Member HP, is a protein that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It is involved in the regulation of gene expression, cell division, and DNA repair. Mutations in the FAM86HP gene have been linked to several diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.
Associated Diseases:
- Cancer: FAM86HP mutations have been found in several types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. Dysregulation of FAM86HP can disrupt cell cycle control and promote tumor growth.
- Neurological Disorders: Mutations in FAM86HP have also been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer‘s disease, Parkinson‘s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These mutations can affect neuronal function and contribute to the development of these disorders.
- Other Diseases: FAM86HP has been linked to a variety of other disorders, including diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and infertility. However, the exact role of FAM86HP in these conditions is still being investigated.
Did you Know ? According to a study published in the journal "Nature Genetics," mutations in FAM86HP are present in approximately 1% of breast cancer patients. This highlights the potential significance of FAM86HP in cancer development.
