Disease relevance of EAF2

 

Psychiatry related information on EAF2

 

High impact information on EAF2

  • The results support a model according to which 5'-->3' and 3'-->5' exonucleases are involved in maturation of U17 and U19 RNAs and that excised and debranched introns are the substrates of the processing reaction [10].
  • Single-locus and haplotype analyses were performed using the Family-Based Association Test and the Transmission Disequilibrium Test. Traits examined included DSM-IV OCD diagnosis and highest lifetime symptom severity as measured using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale [11].
  • In this report, we identify the ELL-associated factors (EAF)1 and EAF2 as strong positive regulators of ELL elongation activity [12].
  • EAF2 is highly homologous to EAF1, with 58% identity and 74% amino acid conservation [13].
  • Using retroviral bone marrow transduction, we observed that a heterologous fusion of EAF2 to MLL immortalized hematopoietic progenitor cells [13].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of EAF2

  • Based on prior research, it was hypothesized that the correlations among childhood, adult, and full APD criteria and PCL-R Total, Factor 1 (Psychopathic Personality Traits), and Factor 2 (Antisocial Lifestyle) scores would differ for men and women [14].

Anatomical context of EAF2

 

Associations of EAF2 with chemical compounds

  • CONCLUSIONS: Lesions within the dopamine-rich ventral putamen, which is part of the ventral or limbic striatum, tended to increase the risk of ADHD/Traits [8].
  • A meta-analysis of these findings disclosed that Factor 2 (Antisocial/Unstable Lifestyle) correlated moderately well with institutional adjustment and recidivism, whereas Factor 1 (Affective/Interpersonal Traits) was less robustly associated with these outcomes [18].
  • Running velocities corresponding to all lactate concentrations showed no significant differences at all age groups, but heart rates in soccer players in the U21 and U19 age groups were significantly lower than in the U17 age group [19].
