What's a GeneRIF?

Describe the first 46,XY PGD pedigree that may be attributed to mutations of the FTHL17 gene and speculate that the FTHL17 gene is involved in the testis-determining pathway and tumorigenesis.
Title: Novel mutation in FTHL17 gene in pedigree with 46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis.
FTHL17 encodes a ferritin-like protein without ferroxidase activity. Its restricted embryonic expression and partial nuclear localization suggest that this novel ferritin type may have functions other than iron storage.
Title: The Ferritin-Heavy-Polypeptide-Like-17 (FTHL17) gene encodes a ferritin with low stability and no ferroxidase activity and with a partial nuclear localization.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
