Gene: LHFPL4

Alternate names for this Gene: GARLH4

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (LHFP) gene family, which is a subset of the superfamily of tetraspan transmembrane protein encoding genes. Mutations in one LHFP-like gene result in deafness in humans and mice, and a second LHFP-like gene is fused to a high-mobility group gene in a translocation-associated lipoma.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p25.3

Description of this Gene: LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
