This transport system is essential for cellular uptake of folate, which is necessary for DNA synthesis, repair, methylation processes, and red blood cell production. Variants in this gene may impair folate transport, potentially resulting in reduced intracellular folate levels even when dietary intake is adequate. Such dysfunctions have been associated with developmental problems, fatigue, cognitive issues, and increased homocysteine levels.

SLC19A1

TCN1 encodes the protein haptocorrin, also known as transcobalamin I, which binds vitamin B12 (cobalamin) in the saliva and protects it from degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach. This initial binding allows B12 to reach the small intestine, where it is then transferred to intrinsic factor for absorption. Variants in the TCN1 gene may affect the stability or availability of B12 in the digestive tract, potentially contributing to suboptimal B12 status. Although not directly involved in cellular B12 transport like TCN2, TCN1 plays a critical early role in vitamin B12 handling.

TCN1

TUB (Tubby Bipartite Transcription Factor): TUB is a gene that encodes the Tubby bipartite transcription factor, which plays a key role in regulating appetite and body weight. Mutations in TUB have been linked to obesity and retinal degeneration. This gene is particularly important for understanding metabolic disorders and eye diseases, providing insights into the genetic factors underlying obesity and vision problems.

TPGS2 (Tocopherol (Alpha) Transfer Protein-Like): TPGS2 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the metabolism and transport of vitamin E within cells. It contributes to antioxidant defence and cell signalling, and plays a role in maintaining the health of the nervous system and other vitamin E-sensitive pathways.

TPGS2

ORMDO3 (Oligoribonuclease, mitochondrial): ORMDO3 is a gene that encodes an enzyme essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis within the mitochondria. ORMDO3 specifically degrades short mitochondrial RNA fragments, helping to regulate mitochondrial gene expression and ensuring proper mitochondrial function. Dysregulation of ORMDO3 can lead to RNA accumulation, impaired mitochondrial activity, and effects on overall cellular health, with potential links to mitochondrial-related disorders.

ORMDO3

PIK3C2A (Phosphatidylinositol-4-Phosphate 3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Type 2 Alpha): PIK3C2A is a member of the PI3K family and a key regulator in cell signalling pathways that control cell growth and survival. It is involved in membrane trafficking, insulin signalling, and cytoskeletal dynamics. Dysregulation of PIK3C2A can contribute to the development of diseases such as cancer and metabolic disorders.

PIK3C2A

MAML3 (Mastermind-Like Transcriptional Coactivator 3): MAML3 is a gene that reflects its role in transcriptional coactivation. It interacts with multiple transcription factors to enhance their activity, thereby influencing gene expression patterns. MAML3 is important for transcriptional regulation and is implicated in developmental processes and cell differentiation.

MAML3

PRELID1 (Prelamin A-Related Integral Membrane Protein 1): PRELID1 is a gene involved in the biology of the nuclear envelope. It plays a crucial role in the processing of prelamin A, the precursor to lamin A, which is a vital structural component of the nuclear envelope. Proper function of PRELID1 is essential for maintaining nuclear structure and integrity, and changes in this gene may impact nuclear organisation and cellular function.
