Loc102724555: An Intriguing Gene with Far-Reaching Implications
Description
Loc102724555 is a gene located on chromosome 10p15.1. It encodes a protein that is involved in the regulation of cell growth and division. Mutations in this gene have been linked to a number of diseases, including cancer, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer: Mutations in loc102724555 have been identified in a number of different types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia. These mutations can lead to the uncontrolled growth and division of cells, contributing to the development of cancer.
- Intellectual disability: Mutations in loc102724555 have also been associated with intellectual disability. These mutations can lead to impaired brain development, resulting in cognitive and learning difficulties.
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD): Studies have suggested that mutations in loc102724555 may be a risk factor for ASD. These mutations may affect the development of neural circuits in the brain, leading to the symptoms associated with ASD, such as social difficulties, communication challenges, and repetitive behaviors.
Did you Know ?
- Approximately 1 in 100 individuals carry a mutation in the loc102724555 gene. This makes it one of the most common genetic variants associated with cancer and intellectual disability.
