CDC45
CDC45 (Cell Division Cycle 45) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CDC45 include Meier-Gorlin Syndrome 7 and Meier-Gorlin Syndrome 1. Among its related pathways are Telomere C-strand (Lagging Strand) Synthesis and E2F mediated regulation of DNA replication. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include chromatin binding and DNA replication origin binding.

Involvement in disease
Meier-Gorlin syndrome 7 (MGORS7): A form of Meier-Gorlin syndrome, a syndrome characterized by bilateral microtia, aplasia/hypoplasia of the patellae, and severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation with short stature and poor weight gain. Additional clinical findings include anomalies of cranial sutures, microcephaly, apparently low-set and simple ears, microstomia, full lips, highly arched or cleft palate, micrognathia, genitourinary tract anomalies, and various skeletal anomalies. While almost all cases have primordial dwarfism with substantial prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, not all cases have microcephaly, and microtia and absent/hypoplastic patella are absent in some. Despite the presence of microcephaly, intellect is usually normal. MGORS7 inheritance is autosomal recessive.
