OverviewNCBI Gene

DiGeorge syndrome, and more widely, the CATCH 22 syndrome, are associated with microdeletions in chromosomal region 22q11.2. The product of this gene shares homology with the Drosophila melanogaster gonadal protein, which participates in gonadal and germ cell development, and with the gamma-1 subunit of human laminin. This gene is a candidate for involvement in DiGeorge syndrome pathology and in schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DGCR6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DGCR6 could matter depends on whether native DGCR6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DGCR6 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label DGCR6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
