TMEM63B

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 the TMEM63B gene was identified in a UDN participant with low oxygen level in the blood (chronic hypoxemia), lung disease that causes lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis), respiratory failure, and delayed speech and language development.

Full Name

transmembrane protein 63B

Location

Chromosome 6p21.1

Function

TMEM63B encodes an osmolarity-activated cation channel (Zhao et al 2016), which is required for hearing (Du et al 2020). TMEM63B encodes a mechanically activated ion channel that helps with the flow of ion (Murthy et al 2018).
