BRWD3

Molecular characteristics

A number of gene changes have been found to cause a BRWD3-related disorder. The specific gene change is recorded on the formal laboratory report for your family members.

Genetic changes reported to date include deletions of the whole gene or sections of the gene or a genetic change that causes the gene not to be made into a protein (‘loss of function’ genetic changes).

The BRWD3 gene is important for the development and function of brain cells.
