ESS2 ess-2 splicing factor homolog

Gene ID: 8220, updated on 7-Jul-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ES2; DGSH; DGSI; bis1; DGS-H; DGS-I; ESS-2; Es2el; DGCR13; DGCR14

Summary

This gene is located within the minimal DGS critical region (MDGCR) thought to contain the gene(s) responsible for a group of developmental disorders. These disorders include DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and some familial or sporadic conotruncal cardiac defects which have been associated with microdeletion of 22q11.2. The encoded protein may be a component of C complex spliceosomes, and the orthologous protein in the mouse localizes to the nucleus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
