Name

TAM Gene

Myeloproliferative syndrome, transient (transient abnormal

ASPM Gene

asp (abnormal spindle) homolog, microcephaly associated (Drosophila)

This gene is the human ortholog of the Drosophila melanogaster 'abnormal spindle' gene (asp), which is essential for normal mitotic spindle function in embryonic neuroblasts. Studies in mouse also suggest a role of this gene in mitotic spindle regulation, with a preferential role in regulating neurogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with microcephaly primary type 5. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

OPLL Gene

ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament of spine

SUCO Gene

SUN domain containing ossification factor

Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process; positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of bone remodeling. Predicted to be located in rough endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

SNORC Gene

secondary ossification center associated regulator of chondrocyte maturation

Predicted to be involved in cartilage development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including collagen-containing extracellular matrix; cytoplasm; and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cell periphery. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
