PTLAH Gene

patella aplasia-hypoplasia

AMMECR1 Gene

Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia and elliptocytosis chromosomal region gene 1

The exact function of this gene is not known, however, submicroscopic deletion of the X chromosome including this gene, COL4A5, and FACL4 genes, result in a contiguous gene deletion syndrome, the AMME complex (Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia, and elliptocytosis). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

AMMEC Gene

Alport syndrome, mental retardation, midface hypoplasia, and elliptocytosis

FHASD Gene

Foveal hypoplasia and anterior segment dysgenesis

CHMRQ Gene

Cerebellar hypoplasia, mental retardation, and quadrupedal locomotion

IHG1 Gene

iris hypoplasia with glaucoma 1

OPA6 Gene

optic atrophy 6 (autosomal recessive)

OPA4 Gene

optic atrophy 4 (autosomal dominant)

OPA5 Gene

optic atrophy 5 (autosomal dominant)

OPA2 Gene

optic atrophy 2 (obscure)

OPA1 Gene

optic atrophy 1 (autosomal dominant)

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein with similarity to dynamin-related GTPases. The encoded protein localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and helps regulate mitochondrial stability and energy output. This protein also sequesters cytochrome c. Mutations in this gene have been associated with optic atrophy type 1, which is a dominantly inherited optic neuropathy resulting in progressive loss of visual acuity, leading in many cases to legal blindness.

OPA3 Gene

optic atrophy 3 (autosomal recessive, with chorea and spastic paraplegia)

The mouse ortholog of this protein co-purifies with the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations in this gene have been shown to result in 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type III and autosomal dominant optic atrophy and cataract. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
