Gene information for WRB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7485
Official gene symbolWRB
Full nametryptophan rich basic protein
Aliases,CHD5,FLJ51808,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a basic nuclear protein of unknown function. The gene is widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues. Since the region proposed to contain the gene(s) for congenital heart disease (CHD) in Down syndrome (DS) patients has been restricted to 21q22.2-22.3, this gene, which maps to 21q22.3, has a potential role in the pathogenesis of Down syndrome congenital heart disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
