Gene: DGCR6
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: DiGeorge syndrome, and more widely, the CATCH 22 syndrome, are associated with microdeletions in chromosomal region 22q11.2. The product of this gene shares homology with the Drosophila melanogaster gonadal protein, which participates in gonadal and germ cell development, and with the gamma-1 subunit of human laminin. This gene is a candidate for involvement in DiGeorge syndrome pathology and in schizophrenia.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 22
Location in Chromosome : 22q11.21|22q11
Description of this Gene: DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 6
Type of Gene: protein-coding
