Loc101927746: A Protein with Diverse Roles
Description
Loc101927746, also known as C15orf54 or FAM162B, is a protein encoded by the C15orf54 gene. It is primarily expressed in the brain, particularly in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Loc101927746 is involved in various cellular processes, including synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, and neurogenesis.
Associated Diseases
Mutations in the C15orf54 gene have been linked to several neurological disorders, including:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Intellectual disability
- Epilepsy
- Schizophrenia
- Alzheimer's disease
Did you Know ?
Studies have shown that approximately 1% of individuals with ASD carry mutations in the C15orf54 gene. This makes it one of the most common genetic risk factors for ASD.
