Susceptibility
  • to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • to Parkinson disease
  • to autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • polymorphisms associated to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • copy-number variants (CNVs) in NR4A2 contribute significantly to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
    Therapy target
  • molecular target for blocking inflammation and tissue destruction associated with chronic inflammatory diseases
  • essential transcription factor for triggering the inflammatory cascade of multiple sclerosis and may serve as a therapeutic target
  • ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • expression increased in diabetic mice that exhibit elevated gluconeogenesis
  • Nurr1 ablation in mice recapitulates early features of Parkinson disease
