This gene encodes a protein which contains [[tetratricopeptide]] repeats (TPR), similar to [[OGT (gene)|O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase]]. Mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with [[Bardet-Biedl syndrome]] type 4. The encoded protein may play a role in [[pigmentary retinopathy]], [[obesity]], [[polydactyly]], [[kidney|renal]] malformation and [[mental retardation]].<ref name="entrez" />
