Gene details

HGNC symbol
WDR72 
Aliases
AI2A3 
Common name
WD repeat domain 72 
Description
This gene encodes a protein with eight WD-40 repeats. Mutations in this gene have been associated with amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]
