LOC102723385
What is Loc102723385?
Loc102723385 is a protein-coding gene that provides instructions for the production of a protein known as LOC102723385 protein. This protein is located on chromosome 20 in humans and is primarily expressed in the testes, brain, and adrenal glands.
Associated Diseases
Mutations in the loc102723385 gene have been linked to several disorders, including:
- Bladder cancer: Studies have shown that alterations in the loc102723385 gene can increase the risk of developing bladder cancer.
- Testicular cancer: Mutations in loc102723385 have been associated with an increased susceptibility to testicular cancer, particularly in younger men.
- Ovarian cancer: Research suggests that variations in loc102723385 may be involved in the development of ovarian cancer, especially in women with a family history of the disease.
