Disease relevance of ACTC1

 

High impact information on ACTC1

  • Missense mutations in ACTC that cosegregate with IDC were identified in two unrelated families [1].
  • 0. Further linkage analyses of plausible candidate genes highly expressed in the adult human heart identified ACTC as the most likely disease gene, showing a maximal lod score of 3 [2].
  • We hypothesize that ACTC mutations affecting sarcomere contraction lead to FHC and that mutations affecting force transmission from the sarcomere to the surrounding syncytium lead to IDC [2].
  • Alpha-cardiac actin is a novel disease gene in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [2].
  • We examined the ability of muscle-specific factors to induce the expression of the human muscle alpha-cardiac actin gene promoter when stably transfected into mouse fibroblast L cells [5].

Associations of ACTC1 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of ACTC1

  • Following these findings, we examined three polymorphic markers (D15S1360, L76630, and ACTC) on chromosome 15q13-14 near the CHRNA7 gene for linkage to schizophrenia, using 54 pedigrees from an independent study [15].
  • Mutations in the human cardiac actin gene (ACTC) have been implicated in the development of hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy in humans [16].
  • RESULTS: We found a 4 bp ACTC deletion between nucleotides 1464 and 1467 in the second exon of the normal DAX-1 sequence [17].
  • Analyses of mitochondrial 12S, 16S, and ND2, along with nuclear ACTC and Rhodopsin sequences from 12 species greatly increased bootstrap, and likelihood support for internal branches including a basal split into two pan-African 20-chromosome clades [18].
  • The mRNAs of beta-MHC, desmin, alpha-cardiac actin, and cardiac troponin T were highly expressed in the myogenic cells [19].
