EGFLAM

protein-coding

EGF like, fibronectin type III and laminin G domains, the group of Fibronectin type III domain containing

Gene summary

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; glycosaminoglycan binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in signal transduction and synapse assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Part of cell surface.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_152403.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
