  1. Tspan18 is a novel regulator of thrombo-inflammation.
    Title: Tspan18 is a novel regulator of thrombo-inflammation.
  2. The findings identify Tspan18 as a novel regulator of endothelial cell Orai1/Ca2+ signaling and von Willebrand factor release in response to inflammatory stimuli.
    Title: Tspan18 is a novel regulator of the Ca(2+) channel Orai1 and von Willebrand factor release in endothelial cells.
  3. The frequency of rs11038167 minor allele (A) was significantly higher only in female patients with thought disorder. Our result suggested that the TSPAN18 gene may be involved in the development of psychotic symptoms and contribute to clinical heterogeneity of schizophrenia.
    Title: Study of the tetraspanin 18 association with schizophrenia in a Han Chinese population.
  4. Our results showed that two SNPs (rs11038167 and rs11038172) at TSPAN18, reported as genome-wide significant SCZ risk variants in Han Chinese, were entirely monomorphic in Europeans, indicating a deep between-population divergence at this gene locus.
    Title: GWAS-identified schizophrenia risk SNPs at TSPAN18 are highly diverged between Europeans and East Asians.
  5. Meta-analysis results show no significant association between TSPAN18 gene and schizophrenia in the Han Chinese population indicating the gene is unlikely to be a major susceptibility gene for schizophrenia in this population.
    Title: Lack of Association between the TSPAN18 Gene and Schizophrenia Based on New Data from Han Chinese and a Meta-Analysis.
  6. These results confirm the significant association, in Han Chinese populations, of increased SCZ risk and the variant of the TSPAN18 gene containing the 'A' allele of SNP rs835784.

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.
