▶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 IGFBP3
This gene is a member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family and encodes a protein with an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. The protein forms a ternary complex with insulin-like growth factor acid-labile subunit (IGFALS) and either insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I or II. In this form, it circulates in the plasma, prolonging the half-life of IGFs and altering their interaction with cell surface receptors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
