What's a GeneRIF?

our study demonstrated that the positive feedback loop between ZNF205-AS1 and EGR4 promotes non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth, and implied that targeting this feedback loop may be promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC

this study is the first to screen the EGR4 gene in relation to male infertility. However, our findings did not clearly explain how nonsynonymous EGR4 variations affect spermatogenesis
Title: Sequence variations of the EGR4 gene in Korean men with spermatogenesis impairment.
EGR4 directly transactivates specific variants (V3 and V4) of the PTHrP gene resulting in subsequent transactivation of the RANKL, IL-6 and IL-8 genes via paracrine action of the PTHrP protein.

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.
