NCIt definition : Human MEGF8 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q13.2 and is approximately
53 kb in length. This allele, which encodes multiple epidermal growth factor-like
domains protein 8, is involved in the downregulation of the hedgehog signaling pathway.
Mutations in the gene are associated with Carpenter syndrome 2.;
