Received more messages. AA correlated to SA since birth, GG not. I'm convinced this is something.
Next step: This rs seems to be related to the KAZN gene, a developmental gene. I've tried to research this gene however the literature is very scarce on what it actually does. Apparently its involved in desmosome assembly and cell adhesion etc (http://www.genecards...sp.pl?gene=KAZN). I can't find anything more about this gene than a single paragraph. Let alone what this rs does within the gene.
Disorders in related genes seem to be correlated with some cancers later in life, but no mention of any neurological issues such as SA. This isn't surprising since SA would be severely underreported and not a focus I'd imagine when looking at gene mutations by health researchers. Particularly in mice or human morbidity.
Our next step: What else can we find out about the KAZN gene other than this single paragraph? Could we make some extrapolations from this besides general non-mental health risks? Any patterns in this description that could lead to neurological issues? Our next, next step if ever, would be to identify the actual pathway of synthesis this rs is weak in, and try supplementing the compound after this pathway. But that's far in the future before we know more what this gene does.
Anyway I'll quote what we know so far about KAZN:
This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in desmosome assembly, cell adhesion, cytoskeletal organization, and epidermal differentiation. This protein co-localizes with desmoplakin and the cytolinker protein periplakin. In general, this protein localizes to the nucleus, desmosomes, cell membrane, and cortical actin-based structures. Some isoforms of this protein also associate with microtubules. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Additional splice variants have been described but their biological validity has not been verified.
