    Summary
    The exact function of this gene is not known, however, submicroscopic deletion of the X chromosome including this gene, COL4A5, and FACL4 genes, result in a contiguous gene deletion syndrome, the AMME complex (Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia, and elliptocytosis). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

    1. AMMECR1 plays a critical role in cell proliferation, cell-cycle progression, and apoptosis of human lung cancer cells, and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for non-small-cell lung cancer.
      Title: AMMECR1 Inhibits Apoptosis and Promotes Cell-cycle Progression and Proliferation of the A549 Human Lung Cancer Cell Line.
    2. results suggest that AMMECR1 is potentially involved in cell cycle control and linked to a new syndrome with growth, bone, heart, and kidney alterations with or without elliptocytosis.
      Title: Inactivation of AMMECR1 is associated with growth, bone, and heart alterations.
    3. We conclude that AMMECR1 is a critical gene in the pathogenesis of Alport syndrome with intellectual disability (Mental retardation), Midface hypoplasia and Elliptocytosis (AMME), causing midface hypoplasia and elliptocytosis and contributing to early speech and language delay, infantile hypotonia and hearing loss
      Title: AMMECR1: a single point mutation causes developmental delay, midface hypoplasia and elliptocytosis.
    4. Study provides further evidence that mutated AMMECR1 gene is responsible for this clinically recognizable X-linked condition, Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia, and elliptocytosis (AMME complex) with variable expressivity.

    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.
