| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 21453 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein heterodimerization activity and scaffold protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within nucleolar large rRNA transcription by RNA polymerase I. Predicted to be located in cytosol; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including appendicular skeleton; branchial arch; facial prominence; genitourinary system; and neural ectoderm. Used to study Treacher Collins syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Treacher Collins syndrome and Treacher Collins syndrome 1. Orthologous to human TCOF1 (treacle ribosome biogenesis factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Heterozygotes for a targeted null mutation die perinatally with severe craniofacial malformations including agenesis of the nasal passages, abnormal development of the maxilla, exencephaly, and anophthalmia. Phenotype penetrance varies depending on strain background. [provided by MGI curators] |
