Disease relevance of CKMT2

Genotyping of CEPH families allowed positioning of CKMT2 on the multipoint map of chromosome 5 between D5S424 and D5S428, distal to spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) (5q12-q14) [1].

High impact information on CKMT2

The gene for creatine kinase, mitochondrial 2 (sarcomeric; CKMT2), maps to chromosome 5q13.3 [1].
YAC clones for the creatine kinase, mitochondrial 2 (sarcomeric; CKMT2), gene were isolated [1].
A polymorphic dinucleotide repeat (heterozygosity 0.77) was identified within the seventh intron of the CKMT2 gene [1].
