Gene: FAM136A

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrially localized protein that is highly conserved across species. The gene is expressed in a variety of tissues including human lymphoblast cells and rat neurosensorial epithelium of the cristaampullaris. A mutation in this gene has been associated with familial Meniere's disease, a chronic disorder of the inner ear. Several pseudogenes of this gene are found on other chromosomes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p13.3

Description of this Gene: family with sequence similarity 136 member A

Type of Gene: protein-coding
