TUBGCP6

Chr 22AR

tubulin gamma complex component 6

Also known as: GCP-6, GCP6, MCCRP, MCCRP1, MCPHCR

TUBGCP6 encodes a component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gTuRC) that mediates microtubule nucleation at the centrosome, which is critical for centrosome duplication and spindle formation. Biallelic mutations cause microcephaly and chorioretinopathy, autosomal recessive, 1, affecting both brain development and retinal structure. This follows autosomal recessive inheritance and has an associated GeneReviews entry for additional clinical guidance.
