EVC2

This gene encodes a protein that functions in bone formation and skeletal development. Mutations in this gene, as well as in a neighboring gene that lies in a head-to-head configuration, cause Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia that is also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia. Mutations in this gene also cause acrofacial dysostosis Weyers type, also referred to as Curry-Hall syndrome, a disease that combines limb and facial abnormalities. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Evc Ciliary Complex Subunit 2

Component of the EvC complex that positively regulates ciliary Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. Plays a critical role in bone formation and skeletal development. May be involved in early embryonic morphogenesis.

Nucleus; Cilium basal body; Cell membrane; Cilium membrane; Cilium. The EvC complex localizes at the base of cilia in the EvC zone of primary cilia in a EFCAB7-dependent manner.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC):
An autosomal recessive condition characterized by the clinical tetrad of chondrodystrophy, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cardiac anomalies. Patients manifest short-limb dwarfism, short ribs, postaxial polydactyly, and dysplastic nails and teeth. Congenital heart defects, most commonly an atrioventricular septal defect, are observed in 60% of affected individuals.
Acrofacial dysostosis, Weyers type (WAD):
An autosomal dominant condition characterized by dysplastic nails, postaxial polydactyly, dental anomalies, short limbs, short stature and normal intelligence. The phenotype is milder than Ellis-van Creveld syndrome.
