Loc101929162: An In-Depth Exploration of This Gene and Its Role in Human Health
Description
Loc101929162 is a gene located on chromosome 21q22.3 in the human genome. It encodes a protein known as LOC101929162, which has been implicated in various biological processes, including cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation.
Associated Diseases
Mutations in the Loc101929162 gene have been linked to several genetic disorders, including:
- Tetralogy of Fallot: A congenital heart defect that involves four specific problems with the heart's structure.
- Atrial Septal Defect: A hole in the wall (septum) that separates the two upper chambers of the heart.
- Ventricular Septal Defect: A hole in the wall (septum) that separates the two lower chambers of the heart.
- Pulmonary Valve Stenosis: A narrowing of the pulmonary valve, which regulates blood flow from the heart to the lungs.
Did you Know ?
Studies have estimated that mutations in the Loc101929162 gene account for approximately 1-2% of cases of Tetralogy of Fallot, the most common type of cyanotic congenital heart defect.
