{"symbol":"WDPCP","synonyms":["CHDTHP","C2ORF86","FRTZ","BBS15","CPLANE5"],"name":"WD repeat containing planar cell polarity effector","description":"This gene encodes a cytoplasmic WD40 repeat protein. A similar gene in frogs encodes a planar cell polarity protein that plays a critical role in collective cell movement and ciliogenesis by mediating septin localization. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome 15 and may also play a role in Meckel-Gruber syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
