Biological context of Gdnf

  • This Gdnf(+/-) mutant cohort recapitulates complex features characteristic of HSCR, including dominant inheritance, incomplete penetrance, and variable severity of symptoms [1].
  • The lack of one functioning Gdnf allele causes a spectrum of defects in gastrointestinal motility and predisposes the mutant mice to HSCR-like phenotypes [1].
  • The experimentally induced dysmorphology associated with deregulated expression of Wnt11, Gdnf and Fgf7 genes in the early stages of organogenesis indicated a crucial role for sprouty function in coordination of epithelial-mesenchymal and stromal signalling, the sites of expression of these genes [17].
  • These findings uncover an essential function for Eya 1 as a critical determination factor in acquiring metanephric fate within the intermediate mesoderm and as a key regulator of Gdnf expression during ureteric induction and branching morphogenesis [18].
  • The architecture of the binding sites in the Six2 promoter, but not the binding sequence itself, is very similar to the one in the Gdnf promoter [19].
