Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n GTF2H2C encodes a subunit of the transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) complex, a key player in both RNA polymerase II‐mediated transcription initiation and nucleotide excision DNA repair. Alterations in its expression or epigenetic status may therefore have significant cellular consequences. For example, in a study aimed at developing an mRNA vaccine for glioma, GTF2H2C was identified among several potential tumor antigens; its overexpression suggests that it could serve as an immunogenic target in this context."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In a separate epigenome‐wide analysis examining the impact of in utero nicotine exposure, differential DNA methylation at the GTF2H2C locus was observed in placental tissue, implying that environmental factors can modulate its epigenetic regulation during early development and potentially contribute to the fetal origins of chronic disease."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Collectively, these findings underscore that GTF2H2C may not only have a fundamental role in maintaining genomic integrity and proper transcriptional regulation but also in influencing disease processes through its altered expression and epigenetic marks.
