CHD7 is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler homologous to the Drosophila trithorax-group protein Kismet.[8] Mutations in CHD7 are associated with CHARGE syndrome.[9] This protein belongs to a larger group of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, the CHD subfamily.

Clinical

Mutations in this gene have been associated with the CHARGE syndrome.
