Our findings show that also recessive complex digit malformation can be caused by BMPR1B variant and not all biallelic BMPR1B variants cause acromesomelic dysplasia. PDHA2 is a novel candidate gene for male infertility; the protein product is a mitochondrial enzyme with highest expression in ejaculated sperm.

Our results indicated that miR215p targeted PDHA1 to regulate a metabolic switch and cancer progression in gastric cancer, and reveal the potential role of the miR215p/PDHA1 axis in gastric cancer treatment

Expression of the PDHA1 gene was found in all somatic cells, whereas expression of PDHA2 gene was restricted to germ cells. The switch from X-linked to autosomic gene expression occurred in spermatocytes.

it is the full demethylation of the CpG island located in the coding region that seems to play a crucial role upon PDHA2 gene transcription in testis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
