AUTS2 activator of transcription and developmental regulator AUTS2

Gene ID: 26053, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MRD26; FBRSL2

Summary

This gene has been implicated in neurodevelopment and as a candidate gene for numerous neurological disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, and developmental delay. Mutations in this gene have also been associated with non-neurological disorders, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, aging of the skin, early-onset androgenetic alopecia, and certain cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
