What's a GeneRIF?

Rare variants in MYH15 represent a likely genetic risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Furthermore, MYH15 could modulate the toxicity of dipeptides produced from expanded G4C2 repeat.

This is the first study to report the association of MYH15 gene polymorphisms with asthma. Polymorphisms of rs9288876, rs7635009, and rs1454197 altered transcriptional regulation of MYH15 and may be functional variants conferring susceptibility to asthma

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
