Spermatogenesis associated retrogenes are expressed in the human ovary and ovarian cancersJan Rohozinski
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA
PLoS ONE 4:e5064. 2009..However, it is by far the most lethal. This is generally attributed to the absence of easily detectable markers specific to ovarian cancers that can be used for early diagnosis and specific therapeutic targets...
UTP14c is a recently acquired retrogene associated with spermatogenesis and fertility in manJan Rohozinski
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Biol Reprod 74:644-51. 2006..The novel evolution of retroposed UTP14 genes supports the hypothesis that retrogenes play an important role in evolution via regulation of male reproductive fitness...
Utp14b: a unique retrogene within a gene that has acquired multiple promoters and a specific function in spermatogenesisMing Zhao
Department of Experimental Radiation Oncology, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Box 066, 1515 Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Dev Biol 304:848-59. 2007..The novel cell-type-specific promoter for Utp14b likely evolved later, as the protein may have acquired a germ cell-specific function in spermatid development...
Oocyte-specific G-protein-coupled receptor 3 (GPR3): no perturbations found in 82 women with premature ovarian failure (first report)Ertug Kovanci
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA
Fertil Steril 90:1269-71. 2008..None of the 82 POF samples showed perturbations of significance. We conclude that perturbations in GPR3 are not a common explanation for POF in this population...
Does expression of the retrogene UTP14c in the ovary pre-dispose women to ovarian cancer?Jan Rohozinski
Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston Salem, NC 27157, USA
Med Hypotheses 78:446-9. 2012....
The mouse juvenile spermatogonial depletion (jsd) phenotype is due to a mutation in the X-derived retrogene, mUtp14bJan Rohozinski
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:11695-700. 2004..In jsd homozygotes, which lack a functional copy of Utp14b, insufficient production of rRNA quickly leads to a cessation of spermatogenesis...
Growth differentiating factor-9 mutations may be associated with premature ovarian failureErtug Kovanci
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Fertil Steril 87:143-6. 2007..To determine whether perturbations of the growth differentiating factor-9 (GDF9) gene are associated with premature ovarian failure (POF)...
