Ellis van Creveld syndrome 2
LBN, EVC2
This gene encodes a protein that functions in bone formation and skeletal development. Mutations in this gene, as well as in a neighboring gene that lies in a head-to-head configuration, cause Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia that is also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia. Mutations in this gene also cause acrofacial dysostosis Weyers type, also referred to as Curry-Hall syndrome, a disease that combines limb and facial abnormalities. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] (from

Bologna, Italy. In Vet Pathol, Sep 2015
Ellis-van Creveld (EvC) syndrome is a human autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in either the EVC or EVC2 gene, and presents with short limbs, polydactyly, and ectodermal and heart defects.

New
In Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci, Jun 2015
PURPOSE: Previous in vivo studies demonstrated that latanoprostene bunod (LBN), a nitric oxide (NO)-donating prostaglandin F2α receptor agonist, results in greater intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering than latanoprost.

Mutations have been identified in dynein motor (DYNC2H1), in intraflagellar transport (IFT) complexes (IFT80, IFT122, IFT43, WDR35, WDR19, and TTC21B) as well as in genes responsible for the basal body (NEK1, EVC, and EVC2).

Minneapolis, United States. In Pediatr Cardiol, 2011
Emerging molecular and developmental studies suggest that EVC and EVC2 proteins may be important for cilia function, which is implicated in the pathogenesis of heterotaxy syndromes.
Two novel heterozygous mutations of EVC2 cause a mild phenotype of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome in a Chinese family.
GeneRIF
Beijing, China. In Am J Med Genet A, 2011
In this study, two novel heterozygous EVC2 mutations, IVS 5-2A > G and c.2653C > T (Arg88 5X), were identified in the patient; the IVS5-2A > G mutation was inherited from the patient's mother and the c.2653C > T from her father
Ellis-van Creveld syndrome: prenatal diagnosis, molecular analysis and genetic counseling.
GeneRIF
Taiwan. In Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol, 2010
Molecular analysis of the EVC and EVC2 genes is helpful in genetic counseling in cases with prenatally detected postaxial polydactyly, thoracic narrowness, short limbs and endocardial cushion defects.
Evc2 is a positive modulator of Hedgehog signalling that interacts with Evc at the cilia membrane and is also found in the nucleus.

Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. In Bmc Biol, 2010
We demonstrate for the first time that Evc2 is a positive regulator of the Hh signalling pathway and that it is located at the basal body of primary cilia. Evc2 is present in the cell nucleus suggesting movement of Evc2 between the cilium and nucleus.
