Recombinant Human EF-hand domain-containing protein 1 (EFHC1)

1. EFHC1 mutations cause microtubule-associated defects in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy PMID: 28370826
2. NHGRI gene-level evidence and variant-level evidence establish EFHC1 as the first non-ion channel microtubule-associated protein whose mutations disturb R-type VDCC and TRPM2 calcium currents in overgrown synapses and dendrites within abnormally migrated dislocated neurons, thus explaining CTC convulsions and "microdysgenesis" neuropathology of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy PMID: 27467453
3. some EFHC1 mutations may be pathogenic only when introduced into specific genetic backgrounds to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy PMID: 25489633
4. Myoclonin1/EFHC1 mutation was suggested releated to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. PMID: 23756480
5. These results show how Myoclonin1/EFHC1 mutations disrupt brain development and potentially produce structural brain abnormalities on which epileptogenesis is established. PMID: 22926142
6. we conclude that mutations in the Myoclonin1/EFHC1 gene are an important cause of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in Mexican patients. PMID: 22727576
7. homozygous Phe229Leu mutation associated with primary intractable epilepsy in infancy PMID: 22690745
8. The juvenile myoclonic epilepsy-related protein EFHC1 interacts with the redox-sensitive TRPM2 channel linked to cell death. PMID: 22226147
9. Mutation analyses identified five missense mutations in EFHC1 that cosegregated with epilepsy or EEG polyspike wave in affected members of six unrelated families with JME and did not occur in 382 control individuals PMID: 15258581
10. The combination of these polymorphisms could not be found in any control individuals, suggesting that they might be involved in genetic predisposition to migraine in this family. PMID: 16378686
11. Deletion analyses revealed that the N-terminal region of EFHC1 is crucial for the association with the mitotic spindle and the midbody. Our results suggest that EFHC1 could play an important role during cell division. PMID: 16824517
12. We found no evidence that EFHC1 is a major genetic risk factor for JME susceptibility in Dutch patients. PMID: 17054699
13. Mutations in the EFHC1 gene may underlie different types of epilepsy syndromes. PMID: 17159113
14. report presents one novel and one previously described mutation in the EFHC1 gene in Italian families, reinforcing the role of this gene in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy PMID: 17634063
15. In this case of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, A molecular genetic analysis led to the identification of a polymorphism (A-->G) in position 10 in the intron 3 (rs949626) of the EFHC1 gene. PMID: 17972043
16. Nine percent of consecutive juvenile myoclonic epilepsy cases from Mexico and Honduras clinics and 3% of clinic patients from Japan carry mutations in Myoclonin1/EFCH1 PMID: 18505993
17. Under reducing condition Ca(2+) or Mg(2+) ions bind to EFHC1C in a 1/1 molar ratio, while under oxidizing condition this ratio is reduced, showing that EFHC1C dimerization blocks Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) binding PMID: 18593566
18. The results of this study show that four coding SNPs, rs3804506, rs3804505, rs1266787, and rs17851770, of EFHC1 may not be susceptibility alleles for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. PMID: 18823326
