Name

TNDM Gene

diabetes mellitus, transient neonatal

Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus is associated with overexpression of a region containing the PLAGL1 and HYMAI genes on chromosome 6q24. These genes are normally imprinted and expressed only from the paternal allele. Imprinting is regulated by differential methylation of a CpG island in this region. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]

RRIS Gene

Respiratory rhythmicity in sleep

NRF1 Gene

nuclear respiratory factor 1

This gene encodes a protein that homodimerizes and functions as a transcription factor which activates the expression of some key metabolic genes regulating cellular growth and nuclear genes required for respiration, heme biosynthesis, and mitochondrial DNA transcription and replication. The protein has also been associated with the regulation of neurite outgrowth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Confusion has occurred in bibliographic databases due to the shared symbol of NRF1 for this gene and for `nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 1` which has an official symbol of NFE2L1.
