Gene: FEZF1

Alternate names for this Gene: FEZ|HH22|ZNF312B

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transcriptional repressor that belongs to the zinc finger double domain protein family. The encoded protein is thought to play a role in the embryonic migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons into the brain. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism-22 with anosmia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q31.32

Description of this Gene: FEZ family zinc finger 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
