Overview of several genes related to TGFβ/BMP signaling pathway associated with diseases marked by bone overgrowth
Gene | Chr | Protein function in the TGFβ/BMP pathway | Disease (manifestation) | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
TGFβ1 | 19 | Encodes a ligand involved in the activation of the TGFβ pathway | CED (OMIM#131300) | [180] |
ALK2/ACVR1 | 2 | Encodes the type I BMP receptor | FOP (OMIM#135100) | [177] |
LEMD3 | 12 | Encodes a nuclear membrane protein that can inhibit the TGFβ pathway | Osteopoikilosis; Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome (OMIM#166700) | [190] |
