Gene ontology (GO)Gene Ontology (GO) annotations describing the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components associated with a gene.
Meiosis-specific with OB domain-containing protein (EC 3.1.-.-)
Protein function
Single-stranded DNA-binding protein required for homologous recombination in meiosis I. Required for double strand breaks (DSBs) repair and crossover formation and promotion of faithful and complete synapsis. Not required for the initial loading
Family and domains
Tissue specificity
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: In fetal gonads, specifically expressed in the ovary starting at the 14th weeks post fertilization (PubMed:24068956). In the adult, restricted to testis (PubMed:28206990). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24068956, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28206990}.

Unknown / Other Associations
ClinVar entries with uncertain/conflicting evidence, and associations from other databases
(OMIM, Orphanet, GWAS, etc.) where the gene is not established as causal.
Diseases Linked via Similar GenesDiseases curated for genes most similar to MEIOB (see Related Genes above), that are NOT already directly curated for MEIOB itself -- a lead worth checking, not a confirmed association.
