Biology:SMCHD1

From HandWiki
Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes flexible Hinge Domain Containing 1 (SMCHD1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMCHD1 gene.[1][2] Mutations in SMCHD1 are causative for development of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 2 (FSHD2)[3] and Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS).[4][5]

Without maternal SMCHD1 in the egg cell, children bear with altered skeletal structures.[6][7]
