On this page, you will find information about a genetic change that was identified in a UDN participant. We are trying to find others with the same or similar condition.
Sharing information on this website is not a requirement of UDN participation. Only descriptions about participants who give explicit consent will appear here.
A change in this gene was identified in a female, age 5 with brain abnormalities, flow of urine from bladder to kidneys (vesicoureteral reflux), global developmental delay and atrial septal defect (read full description).

chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 2
The CHD2 gene codes for a member of the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding family of proteins. These proteins regulate gene expression through chromatin remodeling (Carvill et al., 2013).
GeneCards: GC15P092900
MedlinePlus Genetics: CHD2
NCBI Gene: 1106
OMIM: 602119
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: O14647
Changes in the CHD2 gene have been found in individuals with childhood-onset epileptic encephalopathy (OMIM).
The following de novo genetic change was also identified in a UDN participant. In addition to this change, there is a nearby deletion of the non-coding gene CHASERR. These changes may cause overexpression of CHD2 leading to the participant’s symptoms.
