About This Section Entrez Gene summary for GFAP : This gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. (provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GFAP_HUMAN, P14136 Function : GFAP, a class-III intermediate filament, is a cell-specific marker that, during the development of thecentral nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells Gene Wiki entry for GFAP (Glial fibrillary acidic protein)

Defects in GFAP are a cause of Alexander disease (ALEXD) [MIM:203450]. Alexander disease is a rare disorder of the central nervous system. It is a progressive leukoencephalopathy whose hallmark is the widespread accumulation of Rosenthal fibers which are cytoplasmic inclusions in astrocytes. The most common form affects infants and young children, and is characterized by progressive failure of central myelination, usually leading to death usually within the first decade. Infants with Alexander disease develop a leukoencephalopathy with macrocephaly, seizures, and psychomotor retardation. Patients with juvenile or adult forms typically experience ataxia, bulbar signs and spasticity, and a more slowly progressive course 20/221 diseases for GFAP (see all 221 ): About MalaCards alexander disease dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy primitive neuroectodermal tumor subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy gliomatosis cerebri maple syrup urine disease atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor spinal cord injury normal pressure hydrocephalus supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor ring chromosome 7 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis guillain-barre syndrome subependymal giant cell astrocytoma sudden infant death syndrome intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumor ring chromosomes epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma complex regional pain syndrome gemistocytic astrocytoma 20/32 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for GFAP (see all 32 ):Malignant glioma Brain disease Toxic encephalopathy Brain cancer Alzheimer's disease Vascular disease Medulloblastoma Meningioma Ganglioglioma Neurilemmoma Myoepithelioma Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Myxopapillary ependymoma Retinal detachment Multiple sclerosis Glaucoma Proliferative vitreoretinopathy Medulloepithelioma Pleomorphic adenoma 10/98 Novoseek disease relationships for GFAP gene (see all 98 ) About this table
