nomenclature changes

06/26/2017 Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 375612. From lipoma HMGIC fusion partner-like 3 to LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 3

summary from NCBI

This gene is a member of the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (LHFP) gene family, which is a subset of the superfamily of tetraspan transmembrane protein encoding genes. Mutations in one LHFP-like gene result in deafness in humans and mice, and a second LHFP-like gene is fused to a high-mobility group gene in a translocation-associated lipoma. A partial gene fragment named LHFPL4 corresponds to a portion of the first exon of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
