TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --over  
in blood of women with preeclampsia
constitutional     --low  
significant reductions in expression of GPX1, GPX3, GPX4 in placentae from women with preeclampsia
Susceptibility
  • to sterility and infertility
  • to cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in individuals with type 1 diabetes
  • to Preeclampsia (PE)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • functional variant rs713041 modulates the risk for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in individuals with type 1 diabetes
  • rs713041 in GPX4 may play a key role in the pathogenesis of PE
  • Candidate gene
  • is a possible candidate susceptibility gene for Kashin-Beck disease (KBD)
  • Marker
  • GPX4 and GPX7 are possible markers for improving Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis/prognosis
  • overexpression of GPX4 is an independent prognostic predictor in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • spermatozoa of mice lacking both the sperm nucleus glutathione peroxidase 4 (snGPx4) and the epididymal glutathione peroxidase 5 (GPx5) activities display sperm nucleus structural abnormalities including delayed and defective nuclear compaction, nuclear instability and DNA damage
