Description |
Congenital facial palsy with ptosis and velopharyngeal dysfunction (FPVEPD) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in TUBB6, a gene encoding a class V tubulin. Tubulins form microtubules, which are essential for the cytoskeleton and thereby for cell division, differentiation and migration as well as intracellular trafficking.
