Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: OG2; OG-2; OG2X; POF5; TCAG_12042
Summary: This homeobox gene encodes a transcription factor that is thought to play a role in oogenesis. In mice, it is essential for folliculogenesis and regulation of oocyte-specific genes. Defects in this gene result in premature ovarian failure type 5.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

We report the first familial case of a novel homozygous NOBOX variant with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, thus allowing for a genetic diagnosis of primary ovarian failure
Title: A novel homozygous 1-bp deletion in the NOBOX gene in two Brazilian sisters with primary ovarian failure.
RSPO2 is a novel target gene of the NOBOX key transcription factor, confirming its important role during the follicular growth in ovary. However, RSPO2 mutations are rare or uncommon in women with primary ovarian insufficiency.
Title: R-spondin2, a novel target of NOBOX: identification of variants in a cohort of women with primary ovarian insufficiency.
One novel homozygous truncating variant, chr7:144098161delC, in the NOBOX gene was found in a primary ovarian insufficiency patient. The truncating variant showed a severe defect in transcriptional activation of GDF9 a well-known target of NOBOX. Many oocyte-related genes were expressed at lower level in truncating variant cells than in control cells. We found the truncated NOBOX lost its ability to induced G2/M arrest.
Title: A homozygous NOBOX truncating variant causes defective transcriptional activation and leads to primary ovarian insufficiency.
we report the identification of two novel and two recurrent heterozygous NOBOX variants in 7 out of 107 patients, with a prevalence of 6.5% (upper 95% confidence limit of 11.17%). Several variants conserve the ability to interact with FOXL2 in intracellular aggregates
Title: Impaired protein stability and nuclear localization of NOBOX variants associated with premature ovarian insufficiency.
Screening of NOBOX gene indicted three missense mutations (p.Arg117Trp; p.Gly91Trp and p.Pro619Leu) in eight patients with primary ovarian insufficiency.
Title: NOBOX is a strong autosomal candidate gene in Tunisian patients with primary ovarian insufficiency.
High prevalence of the association between the NOBOX rare variants and Primary ovarian insufficiency.
Title: New NOBOX mutations identified in a large cohort of women with primary ovarian insufficiency decrease KIT-L expression.
both NOBOX and FOXL2 are expressed in human follicle granulosa cells and their interaction plays an inhibitory role in the transcriptional response of these promoters.
Title: NOBOX is a key FOXL2 partner involved in ovarian folliculogenesis.
The very high 6.2% prevalence of these new mutations in POI patients suggest considering NOBOX as the first autosomal candidate gene involved in this syndrome.
Title: Novel NOBOX loss-of-function mutations account for 6.2% of cases in a large primary ovarian insufficiency cohort.

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.
