Mutations in CCNQ (Cyclin Q) have been shown to cause an X-linked dominant STAR syndrome that typically manifests syndactyly, telecanthus and anogenital and renal malformations. The protein encoded by CCNQ contains a cyclin-box-fold domain which suggests it may have a role in controlling nuclear cell division cycles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. CCNQ is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CCNQ include Star Syndrome. An important paralog of CCNQ is CCNL1.
