GlossaryDCAF17 gene

gene involved in protein regulation and linked to hair loss

The DCAF17 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of other proteins. Mutations in this gene have been linked to a rare genetic disorder called Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, which can cause hair loss (alopecia), diabetes, and other symptoms.
