TMC6 gene
(… jeen)
A gene that makes a
protein involved in forming channels through which proteins and other molecules move inside cells.
Mutations (changes) in the
TMC6 gene have
been found in an inherited condition called
epidermodysplasia verruciformis. People with this
condition have a high risk of developing chronic infections with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and skin cancer at an early age.
