Also known as KIAA1313EIEE9
Summary
PCDH19 (protocadherin 19, HGNC:14270) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq22.1, encoding Protocadherin-19 (Q8TAB3). Calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the delta-2 protocadherin subclass of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is thought to be a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein that is primarily expressed in the brain. Mutations in this gene on human chromosome X are associated with sporadic infantile epileptic encephalopathy and to a female-restricted form of epilepsy (EFMR; also known as PCDH19RE). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
