Gene: [10p121/CUBN] cubilin (intrinsic factor-cobalamin receptor); [IFCR ]


COM

The CUBN gene was mapped to Chr 10 p12.1, between markers D10S1661 and WI-5445, by fluorescence in situ hybridization, radiation hybrid mapping, and screening of YAC clones (Kozyraki-1998). This location was within the 6-cM region harboring the gene responsible for megaloblastic anemia (GEM:10p121/MGA1). This was considered circumstantial evidence that an impaired synthesis, processing, or ligand binding of cubilin is the molecular basis of Imerslund-Grasbeck disease (see GEM:10p121/MGA1)."
