This gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The protein encoded is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and is a major component of the extracellular matrix. This protein is involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis and plays a central role in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Wagner syndrome type 1. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

CSPG2_HUMAN- Wagner vitreoretinopathy (WGVRP) [MIM:143200]: A rare vitreoretinopathy characterized by an optically empty vitreous cavity with fibrillary condensations and a preretinal avascular membrane. Other optical features include progressive chorioretinal atrophy, perivascular sheating, subcapsular cataract and myopia. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:16043844, ECO:0000269 PubMed:22739342}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The pathological mechanism involves a quantitative imbalance of the normally occurring splice variants (PubMed:22739342). {ECO:0000269 PubMed:22739342}.
