C17ORF78

Chr 17

chromosome 17 open reading frame 78

The C17ORF78 protein is predicted to be located in cellular membranes, though its specific function remains unclear. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental disorders affecting the nervous system. This gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants based on population genetics data.
