DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

The CHD7 gene (CHD7 stands for "Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 7") is a protein coding gene located on chromosome 8q12.2. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

The CHD7 gene encodes a protein containing multiple domains of the helicase family. This is probably a transcriptional regulator.

Clinical pictureThis section has been translated automatically.

Diseases associated with CHD7 include charge syndrome and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 5 with or without anosmia.
