Bones and joints | 8 | Pear-shaped vertebrae, Excessive inward curve of the lower back (lumbar hyperlordosis), Kyphoscoliosis |
EXTL3 encodes exostosin like glycosyltransferase 3 (919 aa). Glycosyltransferase which regulates the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate (HS). Highest expression in Uterus (28.8 TPM) and Esophagus Gastroesophageal Junction (26.5 TPM).
Immunoskeletal dysplasia with neurodevelopmental abnormalities has been associated with mutations in the EXTL3 gene on chromosome 8.
The EXTL3 protein participates in Expression of EXTL3 pathway.
EXTL3 is classified as a druggable target (Enzyme category) with score 2.2.
Genetic testing for EXTL3 is available. Testing is considered supportive for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 23 always present features, 4 very common features, 41 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for immunoskeletal dysplasia with neurodevelopmental abnormalities.
1 publication has been identified in PubMed for immunoskeletal dysplasia with neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (100%).
