From: The KCTD family of proteins: structure, function, disease relevance
 | Disease | KCTD - related | Function of KCTD proteins in disease | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cancer | Gastrointestinal stromal tumor | KCTD12 | biomarker | Ref. [43] |
KCTD10 | prognostic biomarker | |||
Medulloblastoma | KCTD11 | Suppress Histone Deacetylase and Hedgehog activity in medulloblastoma | ||
KCTD21 | ||||
KCTD6 | ||||
Neurological disease | Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy (PME) | KCTD7 | KCTD7 mutations might be a recurrent cause of PME | |
Abnormal Head Size | KCTD13 | overexpression microcephaly phenotype | Ref. [40] | |
underexpression macrocephaly phenotype | ||||
Metabolic disorder | HDL cholesterol concentration | KCTD10 | KCTD10 (V206VT - > C and i5642G - > C) may contribute to the variation in HDL-cholesterol concentrations, particularly in subjects with high carbohydrate intakes. | Ref. [42] |
Others | Influence EPO production | KCTD2 | Production of erythropoietin (EPO) was significantly inhibited when CEBPG, KCTD2, and TMEM183A were knocked down | Ref. [44] |
Live injury of HBV-ACLF | KCTD9 | The overexpressed KCTD9 activates NK cell in peripheral blood and liver in HBV-ACLF, which contributes to liver injury | ||
Chronic Tinnitus | KCTD12 | Risk modifier | Ref. [22] | |
Scalp-ear-nipple(SEN) syndrome | KCTD1 | missense mutation in KCTD1 causes SEN syndrome | Ref. [41] |
