CASP2 encodes caspase 2 (452 aa). Is a regulator of the cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Highest expression in Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (37.2 TPM) and Spleen (35.0 TPM).
Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 80, with variant lissencephaly is associated with mutations in the CASP2 gene on chromosome 7.
The CASP2 protein participates in The PIDDosome activates CASP2 pathway.
CASP2 is classified as a druggable target (Druggable Genome, Enzyme, and Protease categories) with score 26.1.
Genetic testing for CASP2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 6 always present features, 17 common features.
