Moreover, mutations in the human JPH2 gene are associated with hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies; mutations in JPH3 are responsible for the neurodegenerative Huntington's disease-like-2 (HDL2), whereas JPH1 acts as a genetic modifier in Charcot–Marie–Tooth 2K peripheral neuropathy. The gene discussed is JPH2; the disease is Huntington disease-like 2.
