NCIt synonyms : Spastic Paraplegia 43 (Autosomal Recessive) Gene; Chromosome 19 Open Reading Frame 12 wt Allele; MPAN; MGC10922; Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation 4 Gene; DKFZP762D096; NBIA3; NBIA4; SPG43;
NCIt definition : Human C19orf12 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q12 and is approximately
17 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein C19orf12, may be involved in mitochondrial
calcium ion homeostasis and cellular stress responses. Nonsense mutations in exon
3 of the gene are associated with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 4
and a missense mutation may be associated with autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia
43.;
