Gene: WDR62
Alternate names for this Gene: C19orf14|MCPH2
Gene Summary: This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19q13.12
Description of this Gene: WD repeat domain 62
Type of Gene: protein-coding
