TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional   deletion    
rare inherited or de novo microdeletions at 14q24.3-31.1, a region that overlaps exons of the alpha and/or beta isoforms of NRXN3 in autism spectrum disorders
constitutional germinal mutation      
in Alzheimer disease (AD) patients
constitutional     --low  
of aging-related NRXN3 may increase AD risk
constitutional   deletion    
in motor and language delay with criteria for autism, intellectual disability, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and facial dysmorphic features
Susceptibility
  • to dependence on a variety of addictive substances
  • to Alzheimer's disease (AD)
  • to autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • increasing the risk of dependence on a variety of addictive substances
  • functional haplotype in the 3' region of NRXN3 gene that alters the expression ratios between NRXN3 transmembrane and soluble isoforms, and associated with AD
  • NRXN3 rs12879016 polymorphism played a significant role in ASD susceptibility
  • Candidate gene for autism spectrum disorder
    Marker
  • detection of PAX1/SOX1/ZNF582 methylation status may serve as a promising biomarker for ESCC screening and diagnosis of Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)
  • for patients with high-grade cervical lesion and cervical cancer, the methylation level of PAX1/ZNF582 gene could be applied as a noteworthy biomarker for diagnosis
  • Therapy target
