Summary: This gene encodes a member of a large protein family which contains the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor important for the development of the renal and urogenital systems. This gene is a candidate for Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, a disorder characterized by anomalies in the female genital tract. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

The potential pro-metastatic role of Lim1 in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo in a nude mouse model. Lim1 was found constitutively expressed in all metastatic tissues. Lim1 silencing decreased pulmonary metastasis in the in vivo model. Lim1 is involved in the expression of various proteins regulating cell movements and EMT, and induced clonogenicity in CCC cells.

Report novel missense mutation in LHX1 in congenital absence of the uterus and vagina which could change the transcriptional activity of LHX1 and its effect on the regulation of the downstream target gene GSC.
Title: Identification and functional analysis of a novel LHX1 mutation associated with congenital absence of the uterus and vagina.
Our MRKH families included 43 quads, 26 trios, and 30 duos. Of our MRKH probands, 87/147 (59%) had MRKH type 1 and 60/147 (41%) had type 2 with additional anomalies. CONCLUSION(S): Although the prevalence of WNT4, HNF1B, and LHX1 point mutations is low in people with MRKH, the prevalence of CNVs was approximately 19%.

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.
