CDC6

CDC6 (Cell Division Cycle 6) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CDC6 include Meier-Gorlin Syndrome 5 and Meier-Gorlin Syndrome 1. Among its related pathways are CDK-mediated phosphorylation and removal of Cdc6 and E2F mediated regulation of DNA replication. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include nucleotide binding and kinase binding. An important paralog of this gene is ORC1.

Cell Division Cycle 6

Involved in the initiation of DNA replication. Also participates in checkpoint controls that ensure DNA replication is completed before mitosis is initiated.

Nucleus; Cytoplasm. The protein is nuclear in G1 and cytoplasmic in S-phase cells (PubMed:9566895).

Meier-Gorlin syndrome 5 (MGORS5): 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.
