From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ANKRD17 gene.[5][6]

This gene encodes a protein with ankyrin repeats, which are associated with protein-protein interactions. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is involved in liver development. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[6]
De novo mutations to ANKRD17 are known to cause Chopra-Amiel-Gordon syndrome.[7] Genetic analysis of individuals with CAGS suggests that the disorder follows the haploinsufficiency model of gene action.[8]
