Dgcr6

This gene encodes a protein that is similar to the gonadal protein in Drosophila (fruit fly). The encoded protein is thought to play a role in migration of neural crest cells during development. Deletions in the human gene are associated with DiGeorge syndrome (or velocardiofacial syndrome) which has many clinical features including cardiac abnormalities, cleft palate, atypical facial features, hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism and defective development or congenital absence of the thymus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Dgcr6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.
