Gene: MKS1
Alternate names for this Gene: BBS13|JBTS28|MES|MKS|POC12
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the basal body and is required for formation of the primary cilium in ciliated epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in Meckel syndrome type 1 and in Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 13. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q22
Description of this Gene: MKS transition zone complex subunit 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
