Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 211612 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cognition; social behavior; and thalamus development. Acts upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission and memory. Located in synapse. Is expressed in brain; future brain; olfactory epithelium; and spinal cord. Used to study attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human PTCHD1 (patched domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Male mice hemizygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired thalamic reticular neuron electrophysiology, highly fragmented sleep patterns, hyperactivity, impaired contextual and cued behavior, impaired avoidance learning, abnormal gait, hypotonia and hyperaggression.
