TSPEAR thrombospondin type laminin G domain and EAR repeats

Gene ID: 54084, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DFNB98; ECTD14; STHAG10; TSP-EAR; C21orf29

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that contains a N-terminal thrombospondin-type laminin G domain and several tandem arranged epilepsy-associated repeats (EARs). A mutation in this gene is the cause of autosomal recessive deafness-98. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
