• F12
  15 December 2007

  The coding sequence of F12 consists of multiple domains that are homologous to domains found in fibronectin (MIM.135600) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tTPA) (MIM.173370).
  These regions are found as separate exons in the gene. The 5-prime end of the gene does not contain the typical TATA and CAAT sequences found in other genes. This is consistent with the finding that transcription of the gene is initiated at multiple sites.

  Ent. 1956
  Central core disease (CCD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterised by central cores on muscle biopsy and clinical features of a congenital myopathy. Prevalence is unknown but the condition is probably more common than other congenital myopathies.
  CCD typically presents in infancy with hypotonia and motor developmental delay and is characterized by predominantly proximal weakness pronounced in the hip girdle; orthopaedic complications are common and malignant (...)

• IL12B
  31 August 2004

  The IL12B gene on chromosome 5q31-33 encodes the p40 subunit of interleukin 12, an immunomodulatory cytokine.
  Interleukin-12 has 2 chains, a 35-kD chain encoded by IL12A (MIM.161560) and a 40-kD chain encoded by IL12B.
