Gene: [0Xq26/GPC3] glypican 3 (intestinal proteoglycan); Simpson-Golabi-Behmel overgrowth syndrome (dysplasia-gigantism syndrome; MIM:312870); [SDYS DGSX ]

COM	Shen-1997 assigned the GPC3 gene to Chr Xq26 by fluorescence in situ hybridization."
COD	"The 2,130-bp GPC3 cDNA encodes a putative protein chain of 580 amino acids beginning 151 bp from the start of the sequence. GPC3 shares a number of features with the GPC1 gene (GEM:02q3/GPC1)."
MUT	In cell line originated from a woman with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, the breakpoint was mapped in an existing contig assembled across Xq26. This breakpoint was found to interrupt a gene, called GPC3 (Pilia-1996)."
