This is the first report to our knowledge of viable homozygous truncating mutations in any human HOX gene and of a mendelian disorder resulting from mutations in a human HOX gene critical for development of the central nervous system.

huntingtin
16 July 2003Huntingtin acts on the transcription of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and of many other neuronal genes and on BDNF transport.
Wild-type huntingtin sequesters Repressor element 1 (RE1)-silencing transcription factor (REST, also known as neuronal restrictive silencing factor, NRSF) in the cytoplasm in such a way that the co-repressor complex does not form at the RE1 (also known as the neuron-restrictive silencer element, NRSE) sites and the BDNF gene is transcribed.

AMLS1
21 January 2006Alstrom syndrome 1 gene (ALMS1), encodes a novel protein that contains coiled-coil domains, and a putative nuclear localization signal, as well as serine-rich and histidine-rich regions.
ALMS1 forms a part of the centrosome which together with the data on BBS proteins, confirms the role of centrosomal proteins in the forms of CDK that are associated with diabetes, obesity and retinitis pigmentosa.

GSTM4
5 June 2007Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a complex family of multifunctional enzymes thought to play a significant role in cellular detoxification. Cytosolic GSTs have been subdivided into 4 classes: alpha, mu, pi, and theta.
Four isoenzymes of the mu class (GSTMs) have been identified: GSTM1 (MIM.138350), GSTM2 (MIM.138380), GSTM3 (MIM.138390), and GSTM4 (MIM.138333).
The human Mu class Glutathione S-Transferases (GSTMs) is a family of genes encoding phase II detoxifying enzymes thus (...) -
SLITRK1
6 February 2006SLITRK1 is an integral membrane protein with 2 N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains similar to those of SLITs proteins, like SLIT2.
SLITRK1 was associated with abnormal axonal-dendritic development in embryonic mouse cells.
Pathology
SLITRK1 mutations in Tourette syndrome (MIM.137580) Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairing motor-vocal tics. SLITRK1 is not a major causal gene for GTS.

EZR
4 May 2004ezrin, villin-2, cytovillin, VIL2
Defintion: EZR (VIL2 or ezrin or cytovillin) is a microvillar cytoplasmic peripheral membrane protein that is expressed strongly in placental syncytiotrophoblasts and in certain human tumors.
EZR (ezrin) is a component of the microvilli of intestinal epithelial cells that serves as a major cytoplasmic substrate for certain protein-tyrosine kinases.
