Quick Facts Identifiers, Aliases ...

The SGCE gene encodes the epsilon member of the sarcoglycan family, transmembrane components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which links the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix.[supplied by OMIM].[7]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the SGCE gene are known to cause Myoclonic dystonia (DTY11).[8]
