DSCR1) gene is located in the Down Syndrome critical region (DSCR) of chromosome 21, and encodes an inhibitor of calcineurin-signalling pathways; in elegans, overexpression of rcan-1 could reproduce calcineurin loss-of-function phenotypes, providing in vivo proof of rcan-1 regulation of calcineurin; also, as with mbk-1, another DSCR gene ortholog in elegans, adjusting rcan-1 dosage could reverse the effects of its overexpression.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
