Dymeclin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DYM gene. [5]
This gene encodes a protein which is necessary for normal skeletal development and brain function and has been first described and named in 2003. [6] Mutations in this gene are associated with two types of recessive osteochondrodysplasias, Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen (DMC) syndrome, which involves both skeletal defects and postnatal microcephaly with intellectual deficiency, and Smith-McCort (SMC) dysplasia, which involves skeletal defects only.
