Gene information for FAM58A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID92002
Official gene symbolFAM58A
Full namefamily with sequence similarity 58, member A
Aliases,MGC29729,STAR,
Gene summaryMutations in this gene have been shown to cause an X-linked dominant STAR syndrome that typically manifests syndactyly, telecanthus and anogenital and renal malformations. The protein encoded by this gene contains a cyclin-box-fold domain which suggests it may have a role in controlling nuclear cell division cycles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
