DISEASE | Defects in DCDC2 may be a cause of susceptibility to dyslexia type 2 (DYX2) [MIM:600202]; also known as specific reading disability type 2. Dyslexia is a relatively common, complex cognitive disorder that affects 5% to 10% of school-aged children. The disorder is characterized by an impairment of reading performance despite adequate motivational, educational and intellectual opportunities and in the absence of sensory or neurological disability. |

Background Descriptions | The DCDC2 gene encodes the DCDC2 protein (Doublecortin-containing protein 2, RU2, RU2S) which contains two Doublecortin peptide domains similar to those in the Doublecortin gene. DCDC2 is transcribed as a “normal” gene, which results in a sense transcript (RU2S), but when it is transcribed in the opposite direction, a shorter antisense transcript (RU2AS), which is found in tumors, results. The DCDC2 protein demonstrates ubiquitous expression, whereas RU2AS expression is restricted to normal kidney, bladder, liver and testis, and to tumors of various histologic origins. The deduced DCDC2 protein contains 476 amino acids, while the RU2AS protein contains 84 residues. There is a significant association between dyslexia and several SNPs within the DCDC2 gene. |

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D3ZR10}. Note=Localizes to the ciliary axoneme and to mitotic spindle fibers in a cell-cycle-dependent manner |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed. In brain, highly expressed in the entorhinal cortex, inferior temporal cortex, medial temporal cortex, hypothalamus, amygdala and hippocampus (PubMed:10601354, PubMed:16278297). Expressed in liver by cholangiocytes, the epithelial cells of the bile ducts (at protein level) (PubMed:27319779) |
