KIAA0101
KIAA0101: An Emerging Gene Linked to Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Description
KIAA0101, also known as GEMIN2, is a gene that plays a crucial role in the development and function of the brain. It encodes a protein that is part of the GEMIN complex, which is involved in the assembly and maturation of RNA molecules.
Associated Diseases
Mutations in the KIAA0101 gene have been linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, including:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Intellectual disability
- Developmental delay
- Schizophrenia
These disorders are characterized by difficulties with social interaction, communication, and learning.
Did you Know ?
Approximately 1 in 100 individuals with ASD have a mutation in the KIAA0101 gene, making it one of the most common genetic causes of the disorder.
