MEX3C
MEX3C: A Key Gene in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Description:
MEX3C (mex-3 RNA binding family member C) is a gene that encodes a protein involved in RNA metabolism. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and neuronal development. Mutations in MEX3C have been linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability, and epileptic encephalopathies.
Associated Diseases:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Intellectual Disability
- Epileptic Encephalopathies
- Microcephaly
- Developmental Regression
