SMAL Gene

spinal muscular atrophy, congenital nonprogressive, of lower limbs

LMBR1L Gene

limb development membrane protein 1-like

Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and signal transduction. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

LGMD1H Gene

limb girdle muscular dystrophy 1H (autosomal dominant)

LGMD1G Gene

limb girdle muscular dystrophy 1G (autosomal dominant)

LMBR1 Gene

limb development membrane protein 1

This gene encodes a member of the LMBR1-like membrane protein family. Another member of this protein family has been shown to be a lipocalin transmembrane receptor. A highly conserved, cis-acting regulatory module for the sonic hedgehog gene is located within an intron of this gene. Consequently, disruption of this genic region can alter sonic hedgehog expression and affect limb patterning, but it is not known if this gene functions directly in limb development. Mutations and chromosomal deletions and rearrangements in this genic region are associated with acheiropody and preaxial polydactyly, which likely result from altered sonic hedgehog expression.

LBH Gene

limb bud and heart development

Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of MAPK cascade. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

ANOP1 Gene

anophthalmos 1 (with mental retardation, without limb anomalies or dental or urogenital abnormalities)

DPCR1 Gene

diffuse panbronchiolitis critical region 1

Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

DSCR8 Gene

Down syndrome critical region 8

DSCR3 Gene

Down syndrome critical region 3

The region of chromosome 21 between genes CBR and ERG (CBR-ERG region), which spans 2.5 Mb on 21q22.2, has been defined by analysis of patients with partial trisomy 21. It contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of many characteristics of Down syndrome, including morphological features, hypotonia, and cognitive disability. The DSCR3 (Down syndrome critical region gene 3) gene is found in this region and is predictated to contain eight exons. DSCR3 is expressed in most tissues examined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

DGCR9 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 9 (non-protein coding)

DGCR2 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 2

Deletions of the 22q11.2 have been associated with a wide range of developmental defects (notably DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome and isolated conotruncal cardiac defects) classified under the acronym CATCH 22. The DGCR2 gene encodes a novel putative adhesion receptor protein, which could play a role in neural crest cells migration, a process which has been proposed to be altered in DiGeorge syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

DGCR5 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 5 (non-protein coding)

Biomarker of Huntington's disease. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

DGCR7 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 7

DGCR6 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 6

DiGeorge syndrome, and more widely, the CATCH 22 syndrome, are associated with microdeletions in chromosomal region 22q11.2. The product of this gene shares homology with the Drosophila melanogaster gonadal protein, which participates in gonadal and germ cell development, and with the gamma-1 subunit of human laminin. This gene is a candidate for involvement in DiGeorge syndrome pathology and in schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

LOC100420893 Gene

Down syndrome critical region 3 pseudogene

LOC100631346 Gene

diffuse panbronchiolitis critical region 1 pseudogene

LOC100631344 Gene

diffuse panbronchiolitis critical region 1 pseudogene

LOC100631345 Gene

diffuse panbronchiolitis critical region 1 pseudogene

LOC100631343 Gene

diffuse panbronchiolitis critical region 1 pseudogene

DSCR9 Gene

Down syndrome critical region 9 (non-protein coding)

DSCR4 Gene

Down syndrome critical region 4

The gene is found in a region of chromosome 21 that has been linked to the pathogenesis of Down syndrome. This gene is transcribed from a bi-directional promoter located in an endogenous retrovirus. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

DGCR11 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 11 (non-protein coding)

DGCR10 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 10 (non-protein coding)

DGCR12 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 12 (non-protein coding)

DGCR14 Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 14

This gene is located within the minimal DGS critical region (MDGCR) thought to contain the gene(s) responsible for a group of developmental disorders. These disorders include DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and some familial or sporadic conotruncal cardiac defects which have been associated with microdeletion of 22q11.2. The encoded protein may be a component of C complex spliceosomes, and the orthologous protein in the mouse localizes to the nucleus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

DSCR10 Gene

Down syndrome critical region 10 (non-protein coding)

DGCR6L Gene

DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 6-like

This gene, the result of a duplication at this locus, is one of two functional genes encoding nearly identical proteins that have similar expression patterns. The product of this gene is a protein that shares homology with the Drosophila gonadal protein, expressed in gonadal tissues and germ cells, and with the human laminin gamma-1 chain that functions in cell attachment and migration. This gene is located in a region of chromosome 22 implicated in the DiGeorge syndrome, one facet of a broader collection of anomalies referred to as the CATCH 22 syndrome.
