High impact information on YTHDF2

  • The locus, corresponding to a (TG)n microsatellite in the YTHDF2 gene, was identified by characterizing an "anonymous" marker detectable through inter-Alu fingerprinting, which previously evidenced an increased homozygosity in centenarians [1].
  • Remarkably, the same genotype was associated with increased YTHDF2 messenger RNA levels in immortalized lymphocytes [1].
  • Finally, YTHDF2 messenger RNA resulted to be mainly expressed in testis and placenta [1].
