Gene: SMARCAD1

Alternate names for this Gene: ADERM|BASNS|ETL1|HEL1|HRZ

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the SNF subfamily of helicase proteins. The encoded protein plays a critical role in the restoration of heterochromatin organization and propagation of epigenetic patterns following DNA replication by mediating histone H3/H4 deacetylation. Mutations in this gene are associated with adermatoglyphia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4q22.3

Description of this Gene: SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, containing DEAD/H box 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
