Gene: C20orf203

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a human-specific protein. Currently available evidence suggests that orthologous regions in other organisms contain sequence differences that would not support production of a protein product. Genome-wide association studies have suggested the possibility that a SNP in the 3' UTR, rs17123507, could be associated with nicotine addiction. Expression of this gene may be elevated in some individuals with Alzheimer's disease.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q11.21

Description of this Gene: chromosome 20 open reading frame 203
