Susceptibility
Variant & Polymorphism
Candidate gene NOTCH3-HES5 signaling pathway is crucial for the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension

miscelleaneoushypertension 
inhibition of the expression or effect of NOTCH3 signaling in the adult pulmonary vasculature may be a useful strategy to prevent and treat pulmonary arterial hypertension
cancerreproductiveovary
expression may be related to chemoresistance and that the Notch3 pathway may represent a novel therapeutic target for advanced stage chemoresistant ovarian cancer
digestiveliver 
selective interruption of NOTCH3 may provide an anti-fibrotic strategy in hepatic fibrosis
cancerangiogenesis 
JAG1/NOTCH3 is expected to be a potential target for TNBC neovascularization therapy
ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • when Notch2 and Notch3 genes are simultaneously disrupted, mice die in utero at mid-gestation due to severe vascular abnormalities
