Summary: This gene encodes a ubiquitously expressed protein of unknown function. It has high levels of mRNA expression in the brain, heart, and retina and the protein co-localizes with polyglutamylated tubulin at the base of the primary cilium in human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy (arCRD) and retinitis pigmentosa (arRP). [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 1.7), brain (RPKM 1.3) and 25 other tissues See more

We conclude that C8orf37 should be added to Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) screening panels as a probable rare cause of the disease and that individuals with C8orf37-related retinal dystrophy should be screened for BBS features.
Title: C8orf37 is mutated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome and constitutes a locus allelic to non-syndromic retinal dystrophies.
This report extends the genotypic spectrum of C8orf37-associated retinal dystrophies and demonstrates for the first time a genotype-phenotype correlation between an arCRD-polydactyly-association and truncating germline mutations affecting the N-terminal region of the protein.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
