Disease relevance of RXRG

 

High impact information on RXRG

 

Biological context of RXRG

  • In conclusion, in patients with RTH we have found two SNPs in the RXR-gamma gene; these SNPS are common in the general population, thus excluding a role for the RXR-gamma gene in these patients [8].
  • Analysis of all the 10 exons of the RXR-gamma gene, including intron-exon boundaries, promoter region and 3' untranslated region (UTR) reveled two variant bands in subjects II and III [8].
  • We infer that the DTM may be an important integrating center for photoperiodic control of seasonal physiology and suggest that the changes in retinoid X receptor gamma expression may be associated with seasonal changes in body weight and energy metabolism [2].
  • These data suggest that RXRgamma may contribute to disordered lipid metabolism in members of familial T2DM kindreds, but this gene is unlikely to explain the linkage of T2DM with this region [9].
  • RXRgamma haplotypes were also associated with several measures of pancreatic beta-cell function, consistent with the proposed role of lipid metabolism in insulin secretion [9].
 

Anatomical context of RXRG

 

Other interactions of RXRG

  • The aim of this study is to search for mutation within the RXR-gamma gene in unrelated subjects with diagnosed RTH without mutations in the TRbeta gene [8].
