HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: OR13G1
Cytogenetic location: 1q44 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:247,670,812-247,679,739 (from NCBI)
OR1-37 (OR13G1) is a member of a large multigene family encoding transmembrane signaling proteins required for odorant discrimination (Mainic et al., 2004).
By sequence analysis, Mainic et al. (2004) mapped the OR1-37 gene to chromosome 1q44.
Family history is a major risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI). Shiffman et al. (2005) hypothesized that a gene-centric association study that was not limited to candidate genes could identify novel genetic associations with MI. They analyzed more than 11,000 SNPs in almost 7,000 genes in 3 sequential studies involving a total of 1,332 Caucasian MI patients and 1,772 controls. They found 4 gene variants associated with MI (p less than 0.05; false-discovery rate less than 10%): palladin (608092) (odds ratio = 1.40); a tyrosine kinase, ROS1 (165020) (OR = 1.75); and 2 G protein-coupled receptors, TAS2R50 (609627) (OR = 1.58), and OR13G1 (OR = 1.40). The odds ratios cited were for carriers of 2 versus 0 risk alleles.
