Psychiatry related information on NTNG2

 

High impact information on NTNG2

  • BACKGROUND: The netrin-G1 (NTNG1) and -G2 (NTNG2) genes, recently cloned from mouse, play a role in the formation and/or maintenance of glutamatergic neural circuitry [2].
  • An association between NTNG2 and schizophrenia was also observed with SNPs and haplotypes that clustered in the 5' region of the gene [2].
  • KIAA1857-netrin-G2 belongs to the netrins and might then be a tumor suppressor gene in bladder cancer, as netrin1 receptor DCC has been implicated in tumorigenesis [3].
  • We here identified in mice a novel member netrin-G2 which constitute a subfamily with netrin-G1 among the UNC6/netrin family [4].
  • We sequenced the nine coding exons of NTNG1 and identified four sequence variants, none of which were likely to be pathogenic [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NTNG2

  • Reverse transcriptase PCR detected nine alternatively spliced isoforms including four novel variants of NTNG1 from adult brain [5].
