Inferred by orthology to human genes with DO annotation (HGNC:7631)
Disease_relevance
Elegans gana-1 is orthologous to the human NAGA and GALA genes; the human gene Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (NAGA, also known as GALB) is a lysosomal glycohydrolase, that cleaves alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyl moieties from glycoconjugates; mutations in GALB have been associated with Schindler disease type I and III and Kanzaki disease; mutations in human alpha-galactosidase (GLA), a lysosomal hydrolase are associated with Fabry disease.
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.
