MED25 encodes mediator complex subunit 25 (747 aa). Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Highest expression in Testis (183.1 TPM) and Adrenal Gland (101.3 TPM).
Congenital cataract-microcephaly-nevus flammeus simplex-severe intellectual disability syndrome is associated with mutations in the MED25 gene on chromosome 19.
MED25 is classified as a druggable target (Transcription Factor and Transcription Factor Complex categories) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for MED25 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
