The MSH2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays an essential role in repairing DNA. This protein helps correct errors that are made when DNA is copied in preparation for cell division, a process called DNA replication. The MSH2 pr READ MORE

The MSH6 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays an essential role in repairing DNA. This protein helps correct errors that are made when DNA is copied in preparation for cell division, a process called DNA replication. The MSH6 pr READ MORE

The MSTN gene provides instructions for making a protein called myostatin. This protein is part of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily, which is a group of proteins that help control the growth and development of tissues throughout READ MORE

The MSX1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that regulates the activity of other genes. The MSX1 gene is part of a larger family of homeobox genes, which control the formation of many body structures during early development. Specificall READ MORE

The MSX2 gene provides instructions for producing a protein that is necessary for proper development of cells and tissues throughout the body. The MSX2 protein is a transcription factor, which means it attaches (binds) to specific regions of DNA and READ MORE

The MT-ATP6 gene provides information for making a protein that is essential for normal mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. These cellular structures produ READ MORE

The MT-CYB gene provides instructions for making a protein called cytochrome b. This protein plays a key role in structures called mitochondria, which convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Cytochrome b is one of 11 components o READ MORE
