Title: Loc100133091: A Gene Linked to Neurodegenerative Diseases
Description:
Loc100133091 is a gene that encodes a protein called transmembrane protein 215 (TMEM215). It is located on chromosome 10p15.1 and is thought to play a role in the development and function of the nervous system. Mutations in loc100133091 have been linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Associated Diseases:
- Alzheimer's disease (AD): AD is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. Mutations in loc100133091 have been found to increase the risk of developing AD.
- Parkinson's disease (PD): PD is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by tremors, rigidity, and impaired movement. Mutations in loc100133091 have been found to increase the risk of developing PD.
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and paralysis. Mutations in loc100133091 have been found to increase the risk of developing ALS.
Did you Know ?
According to a study published in the journal "Nature Genetics," mutations in loc100133091 are present in approximately 1% of individuals with AD, 2% of individuals with PD, and 5% of individuals with ALS.
