Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: MKS3; JBTS6; NPHP11; TNEM67; MECKELIN
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the primary cilium and to the plasma membrane. The gene functions in centriole migration to the apical membrane and formation of the primary cilium. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Meckel syndrome type 3 (MKS3) and Joubert syndrome type 6 (JBTS6). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

Study identified two novel heterozygous mutations (p.Gly132Ala and p.Tyr920ThrfsX40) in the TMEM67 gene in a patient with COACH syndrome. Co-injection into zebrafish embryos of tmem67 morpholinos and RNAs encoding the two mutations show no rescue of the hydrocephalus phenotype. These findings indicate that the two mutations may cause COACH syndrome via altered Wnt signaling, at least in part.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
