Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class A
This gene encodes a protein required for synthesis of a GPI anchor. GPI anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells which is involved in cell interactions. Mutations may cause the development of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, an acquired hematologic disorder. Truncating mutations are found in patients with x-linked congenital developmental disorders.
