Article Synopsis
- Ocular albinism type 1 (OA1) is linked to mutations in the GPR143 gene, affecting eye color and vision, with additional reports of late-onset hearing loss in some patients.
- A family study revealed an interstitial microdeletion on the X chromosome that includes not only GPR143 but also genes like TBL1X and SHROOM2, which might connect to infertility and hearing issues.
- The research suggests a potential link between the absence of TBL1X and hearing loss but emphasizes that more evidence is needed to confirm this and the relationship between the genetic deletion and male infertility.
Juvenile hormone (JH) regulates insect growth and development. JH present in the hemolymph is bound to juvenile hormone binding protein (hJHBP) which protects JH from degradation. In G.

It is encoded on chromosome 2q33 and found to be associated with several allergic phenotypes including asthma. However, the association of CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms with allergic asthma is still controversial and therefore was the subject of this study.

- Eosinophils play a key role in allergic inflammation, with the Fc alpha receptor (FcalphaRI) being a potential factor for their activation in allergic asthma.
- The study examined polymorphisms in the FCAR gene among allergic asthma patients and healthy controls but found no significant differences in distribution.
- Overall, FcalphaRI polymorphisms do not appear to be a risk factor for allergic asthma, marking the first report on various FCAR gene polymorphisms in humans related to this condition.
