Gene: FLCN

Alternate names for this Gene: BHD|DENND8B|FLCL

Gene Summary: This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17p11.2

Description of this Gene: folliculin

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: MPRIP

Alternate names for this Gene: M-RIP|MRIP|RHOIP3|RIP3|p116Rip

Gene Summary:

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17p11.2

Description of this Gene: myosin phosphatase Rho interacting protein

Type of Gene: protein-coding
