Disease relevance of HYDIN

 

High impact information on HYDIN

  • Hydin consists of at least 86 exons spanning over 340 kb of genomic DNA [3].
  • Direct cDNA selection performed on a wild-type mouse BAC clone spanning the OVE459 insertion locus on chromosome 8 led to the identification of two novel candidate genes, Hydin and Vac14 [3].
  • Congenital hydrocephalus in hy3 mice is caused by a frameshift mutation in Hydin, a large novel gene [3].
  • Other sites of Hydin expression include the ciliated epithelial cells lining the bronchi and oviduct, as well as in the developing spermatocytes in the testis [3].
  • A single CG base-pair deletion in exon 15 of Hydin was discovered specifically in mice carrying the spontaneous hy3 mutant allele [3].
 

Biological context of HYDIN

  • We have found that the human HYDIN locus has been very recently duplicated, with a nearly identical 360-kb paralogous segment inserted on chromosome 1q21 [1].
  • Elucidation of the role of HYDIN in human disease susceptibility will require careful discrimination among the paralogous copies [1].
  • The transgene insertion resulted in a rearrangement of Hydin exons in OVE459 mice [3].
 

Anatomical context of HYDIN

  • Within the neonatal brain, Hydin expression is confined to the ciliated ependymal cell layer lining the lateral, third and fourth ventricles [3].
 

Other interactions of HYDIN

  • In testis and ependymal primary cultures, Wdr16 messenger RNA appears concomitantly with the messages for sperm-associated antigen 6, a kinocilia marker, and for hydin, a protein linked to ciliary function and hydrocephalus [4].
