Protein-coding gene in humans
Bromodomain and WD repeat-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BRWD3 gene .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
Function The protein encoded by this gene contains a bromodomain and several WD repeats . It is thought to have a chromatin -modifying function, and may thus play a role in transcription .[ 7]
Clinical significance Mutations in this gene can cause mental retardation or permanent paralysis X-linked type 93, which is also referred to as mental retardation X-linked with macrocephaly . This gene is also associated with translocations in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia .[ 7]
