FBXW7

Molecular characteristics

The FBXW7-related condition can be caused by a range of mutations that involve a change in the spelling of the FBXW7 gene. These mutations result in the loss of one copy of the FBXW7 gene, leaving half the amount of FBXW7 in the body. It is believed that this gene is involved with brain development of the baby in the womb and after the child is born.
