LocusSupplementaryData=Laforin, encoded by the "EPM2A"
gene , is aprotein mutated in patients withLafora disease . It contains a dual specificityphosphatase domain (DSP) and a carbohydrate binding module subtype 20 [http://www.cazy.org/fam/acc_CBM.html] (CBM20). Its physiologicalsubstrate has yet to be identified and the molecular mechanisms in which mutated laforin causesLafora disease is unknown.
