LOC101929057
Description:
Loc101929057, also known as EFCAB14, is a gene located on chromosome 10 in humans. It encodes a protein of the same name, which is involved in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Mutations in the loc101929057 gene have been linked to several diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.
Associated Diseases:
- Breast cancer: Mutations in loc101929057 have been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Studies have found that women with certain mutations in this gene have a higher likelihood of developing breast cancer at a younger age and with more aggressive tumors.
- Ovarian cancer: Similar to breast cancer, mutations in loc101929057 have also been linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. These mutations may lead to the development of high-grade serous ovarian cancers, which are typically more aggressive and have a lower survival rate.
- Neurological disorders: Mutations in loc101929057 have been implicated in several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Researchers believe that these mutations may disrupt normal cellular functions in the brain, leading to neuronal damage and cognitive impairment.
Did you Know ?
- Approximately 1 in 500 people carry a mutation in the loc101929057 gene. However, not all individuals with this mutation will develop a disease. The risk of developing a specific disease associated with loc101929057 mutations depends on the type and location of the mutation, as well as other factors such as lifestyle and environmental exposures.
