NCIt definition : Human MEF2C wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q14 and is approximately
186 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C protein,
is involved in the mediation of cardiac morphogenesis, muscle cell differentiation
and vasculogenesis. Mutations and deletions of the gene are associated with severe
mental retardation, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation.;
