▶Altered transmission of HOX and apoptotic SNPs identify a potential common pathway for clubfootAssociationN=1,927Audrey R. Ester et al.(2009)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A
Family-based association study identifying altered transmission of SNPs in HOX gene clusters (HOXA, HOXD) and IGFBP3 as potential risk factors for clubfoot (talipes equinovarus), a common congenital limb defect. Key findings include significant associations with rs3801776 in HOXA (p=0.004 discovery, p=0.028 validation), rs13223993 in IGFBP3 (p=0.003), and strong gene-gene interactions between HOX and apoptotic pathway genes (CASP3, CASP10, Bid, Apaf1), suggesting HOX and apoptotic perturbations affect limb and muscle development.
About HOXD10
This gene is a member of the Abd-B homeobox family and encodes a protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox D genes located on chromosome 2. The encoded nuclear protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is expressed in the developing limb buds and is involved in differentiation and limb development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilm's tumor and congenital vertical talus (also known as "rocker-bottom foot" deformity or congenital convex pes valgus) and/or a foot deformity resembling that seen in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
