CDCA2

Chr 8

cell division cycle associated 2

Also known as: PPP1R81, Repo-Man

The protein regulates chromosome structure during mitosis by recruiting protein phosphatase 1-gamma to chromatin, enabling chromosomes to maintain their compact architecture through anaphase and supporting nuclear envelope reformation. Mutations cause severe developmental delay, microcephaly, growth retardation, and limb malformations with autosomal recessive inheritance. This gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variation based on population genetics data.
