About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for HMCN1: This gene encodes a large extracellular member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. A similar protein in C. elegans formslong, fine tracks at specific extracellular sites that are involved in many processes such as stabilization of thegermline syncytium, anchorage of mechanosensory neurons to the epidermis, and organization of hemidesmosomes in theepidermis. Mutations in this gene may be associated with age-related macular degeneration. (provided by RefSeq) Gene Wiki entry for HMCN1 |

Defects in HMCN1 are a cause of age-related macular degeneration type 1 (ARMD1) [MIM:603075]. ARMD is amultifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In mostpatients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid (knownas drusen) that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin-containing structure known as BruchmembraneHuman Gene Mutation Database (HGMD): HMCN1 Genetic Association Database (GAD): HMCN1 Human Genome Epidemiology (HuGE) Navigator: HMCN1 (9 documents) Export disorders and mutations for HMCN1 gene to outside databases
