Gene Symbol: MYH9
MYH9
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE While no association was observed in the cohort of European Americans, the case-control comparison of African Americans found variants within a 60 kb region of chromosome 22 containing part of the APOL1 and MYH9 genes associated with increased risk of FSGS. 20668430 2010

MYH9
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Recent linkage analyses of nondiabetic African-American patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have identified MYH9, encoding nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA), as a gene having a critical role in this disease. 20200500 2010
Entrez Id: 4627
Gene Symbol: MYH9
