Gene: FKRP
Alternate names for this Gene: FKTR|LGMD2I|LGMDR9|MDC1C|MDDGA5|MDDGB5|MDDGC5
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is targeted to the medial Golgi apparatus and is necessary for posttranslational modification of dystroglycan. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital muscular dystrophy, cognitive disability, and cerebellar cysts. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19q13.32
Description of this Gene: fukutin related protein
Type of Gene: protein-coding
