Loss of famh-136/ FAM136A results in minor locomotion and behavioral changes in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract
The human gene FAM136A (family with sequence similarity 136 member A) has been associated with familial Meniere's disease (MD) (Requena et al., 2015), a chronic disorder of the inner ear (Nakashima et al., 2016). There is also a suggestion that the expression of the gene could be associated with lung cancer prognosis (Zhao et al., 2020). FAM136A is evolutionary conserved, with orthologs identified in various metazoan species (Alliance of Genome Resources, 2022). However, with the exception of some expression data and omics level analysis (Alliance of Genome Resources, 2022; Stuckenholz et al., 2009), very little is known about FAM136A.
