Genes affected

ESCO2 (HGNC:27230): (establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 2) This gene encodes a protein that may have acetyltransferase activity and may be required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion during the S phase of mitosis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Roberts syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ESCO2 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• Roberts-SC phocomelia syndrome

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: ClinGen, G2P, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)
• Roberts syndrome

  Inheritance: AR Classification: STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet, Ambry Genetics
