HLD2

Chr 1AR

gap junction protein gamma 2

Also known as: CX46.6, Cx47, GJA12, HLD2, LMPH1C, LMPHM3, PMLDAR, SPG44

This gene encodes a gap junction protein that plays a key role in central myelination and is involved in peripheral myelination. Mutations cause autosomal recessive hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 2 (Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease), a white matter disorder affecting the central nervous system. The condition follows autosomal recessive inheritance.
