Symbol EGLN1 contributors: mct - updated : 15-05-2016
HGNC name egl nine homolog 1 (C. elegans)
HGNC id 1232
ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s) ECYT3
Other morbid association(s)
TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional   translocation    
translocation t(1;11)(q42.1;q14.3) in major mental illness
tumoral   LOH    
suppressed tumor invasion, intravasation, and metastasis, but not affect tumor vessel density or lumen size, and normalized the endothelial lining and vessel maturation
tumoral       loss of function
in endothelial cells normalizes tumor vessels and enhances perfusion
Susceptibility
Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • significant association between rs186996510 and hemoglobin levels in Tibetans, suggesting that EGLN1 contributes to the adaptively low hemoglobin level of Tibetans compared to acclimatized lowlanders at high altitude
