Gene: CDHR1
Alternate names for this Gene: CORD15|PCDH21|PRCAD|RP65
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the cadherin superfamily of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules. The encoded protein is a photoreceptor-specific cadherin that plays a role in outer segment disc morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with inherited retinal dystrophies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10q23.1
Description of this Gene: cadherin related family member 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
