| GENE SUMMARY |
|---|
| Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause an X-linked dominant STAR syndrome that typically manifests syndactyly, telecanthus and anogenital and renal malformations. The protein encoded by this gene contains a cyclin-box-fold domain which suggests it may have a role in controlling nuclear cell division cycles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008] |
