Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYFIP1 gene.[5][6]

The CYFIP1 gene with haploinsufficiency may provide a model for the associated neuropsychiatric and neurological phenotypes of disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.[9][10] With autism, a potential molecular link was identified between FMR1-FM and the genetic disorder dup(15q), in terms of the cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 1 (CYFIP1) up regulated in those with the disorder.[11]
