    Summary
    This gene encodes a DEAD box protein. DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Results identified heterozygous missense pathogenic variants involving DHX37 gene as a new cause of an autosomal dominant form of 46,XY DSD, including gonadal dysgenesis and testicular regression syndrome (TRS), showing that these conditions are part of a clinical spectrum. Some of the variants are clustered in two highly conserved functional domains.

    8. In 46,XY Gonadal dysgenesis, we identified four heterozygous missense rare variants, classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in the Asp-Glu-Ala-His-box (DHX) helicase 37 (DHX37) gene.Two variants were recurrent: p.Arg308Gln and p.Arg674Trp. The variants were specifically associated with embryonic testicular regression syndrome. DHX37 is a player in the complex cascade of male gonadal differentiation and maintenance.

    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.
