Disease relevance of NAP1L2

SNPs in the CpG island of NAP1L2: a possible link between DNA methylation and neural tube defects [1]?

High impact information on NAP1L2

The Xq13 region, whose orientation is apparently globally conserved between man and mouse, must therefore contain an inversion of at least 600 kb spanning the XIST sequence and including the CDX4 and BPX genes [2].
In addition to mapping of the brain-specific gene (NAP1L2) and the phosphoglyceryl kinase alpha subunit 1 gene (PHKA1) and generation and mapping of a large number of STSs throughout the contig, we have mapped a putative transcriptional regulatory protein (HDACL1), and 35 ESTs [3].
X-linked familial and spontaneous cases of NTD were analyzed for sequence alterations in the human NAP1L2 [1].

Biological context of NAP1L2

However, a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the 5' region of NAP1L2 were identified both in cases of spontaneous NTD and in normal controls [1].
