Gene: RAI2

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation. The specific function of this retinoic acid-induced gene has not yet been determined but it may play a role in development. The chromosomal location of this gene designates it to be a candidate for diseases such as Nance-Horan syndrome, sensorineural deafness, non-specific X-linked cognitive disability, oral-facial-digital syndrome, and Fried syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: X

Location in Chromosome : Xp22.13

Description of this Gene: retinoic acid induced 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
