and this up-regulation correlated with both HIF1A up-regulation and worse patient survival, confirming a functional association between ZFHX3 and HIF1A in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Susceptibility
  • to atrial fibrillation (AF)
  • to Kawasaki disease (KD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • rs7193343-T, associated significantly with AF
  • rs7199343 significantly associated to KS (Burgner 2009)
  • rs2106261 in ZFHX3 confers a significant risk of AF in a Chinese Han population
  • Candidate gene
