Disease Associations

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5 (FSGS5) [MIM:613237]: A renal pathology defined by the presence of segmental sclerosis in glomeruli and resulting in proteinuria, reduced glomerular filtration rate and progressive decline in renal function. Renal insufficiency often progresses to end-stage renal disease, a highly morbid state requiring either dialysis therapy or kidney transplantation. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20023659, ECO:0000269PubMed:22971997}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, dominant, intermediate type, E (CMTDIE) [MIM:614455]: A form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. The dominant intermediate type E is characterized by clinical and pathologic features intermediate between demyelinating and axonal peripheral neuropathies, and motor median nerve conduction velocities ranging from 25 to 45 m/sec. Patients additionally manifest focal segmental glomerulonephritis, proteinuria, progression to end- stage renal disease, and a characteristic histologic pattern on renal biopsy. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22187985}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. In the kidney, expression is apparent in podocytes and some tubule cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20023659}.
