Any Meckel syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CC2D2A gene.
Features include always present findings: Pulmonary hypoplasia, Talipes equinovarus, Cystic liver disease, and Liver scarring (fibrosis) (hepatic fibrosis) and others; and very common findings: Postaxial hand polydactyly. 19 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Digestive system | 3 | Cystic liver disease, Liver scarring (fibrosis) (hepatic fibrosis), Hepatic cysts |
CC2D2A encodes coiled-coil and C2 domain containing 2A (1,620 aa). Component of the tectonic-like complex, a complex localized at the transition zone of primary cilia and acting as a barrier that prevents diffusion of transmembrane proteins between the cilia and plasma membranes. Highest expression in Artery Tibial (16.4 TPM) and Colon Sigmoid (15.6 TPM).
Meckel syndrome, type 6 is associated with mutations in the CC2D2A gene on chromosome 4.
The CC2D2A protein participates in Anchoring of the basal body to the plasma membrane pathway.
CC2D2A is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for CC2D2A is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 8 always present features, 1 very common feature, 2 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for Meckel syndrome, type 6.
7 publications have been identified in PubMed for Meckel syndrome, type 6. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (57%), Review / Meta-Analysis (29%), and Basic Science / Preclinical (14%).
