flj31356: An Intriguing Gene with Implications for Disease
Description
flj31356 is a gene located on the human chromosome 17. It encodes a protein of unknown function, but research suggests it may play a role in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis and cellular signaling.
Associated Diseases
Although the precise role of flj31356 in human health remains to be fully elucidated, it has been implicated in several diseases:
-
Neurological Disorders: Mutations in flj31356 have been associated with an increased risk of developing certain neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
-
Cancer: Studies have shown that altered expression of flj31356 is associated with the development and progression of certain cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer.
-
Immune Disorders: Dysregulation of flj31356 has been linked to the development of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Did you Know ?
A large-scale genomic study involving over 10,000 individuals revealed that variations in the flj31356 gene are highly prevalent in the human population, with approximately 25% of individuals carrying at least one variant.
