Gene: MROH8

Alternate names for this Gene: C20orf131|C20orf132

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the maestro heat-like repeat family. The exact function of this gene is not known, however, in a genome-wide association study using hippocampal atrophy as a quantitative trait, this gene has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (PMID:19668339). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q11.23

Description of this Gene: maestro heat like repeat family member 8

Type of Gene: protein-coding
