Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a protein that functions in bone formation and skeletal development. Mutations in this gene, as well as in a neighboring gene that lies in a head-to-head configuration, cause Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia that is also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia. Mutations in this gene also cause acrofacial dysostosis Weyers type, also referred to as Curry-Hall syndrome, a disease that combines limb and facial abnormalities. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009].
UniProt Summary: Component of the EvC complex that positively regulates ciliary Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. Plays a critical role in bone formation and skeletal development. May be involved in early embryonic morphogenesis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K1G2}.
