Overview of Gene Research
Check the content of the review

Leng8, while specific aliases are not mentioned in the provided references, seems to be involved in various biological processes. It may be associated with pathways related to immune response, as an intergenic variant near it might regulate several immune-related genes [5]. Also, its potential role in diseases like periodontitis, osteoarthritis, and cancer (colorectal, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma) suggests its importance in disease-related biological mechanisms [2,3,4,6].

In research, homozygous likely deleterious variants in Leng8 were identified in patients with compatible phenotypes, indicating its possible role in Mendelian phenotypes [1]. In a study on colorectal cancer, a lncRNA related to Leng8 (LENG8-AS1) was part of a signature model for prognosis prediction [2]. In osteoarthritis patients with obesity, Leng8 was identified as a hub gene, with IPA results showing enrichment in antimicrobial, inflammatory, and humoral immune responses [3]. In a periodontitis study, Leng8 was among genes identified with shared mutations in multiple cases, suggesting it as a potential susceptibility gene [4].

In conclusion, Leng8 appears to play a role in multiple disease-related biological processes, especially those related to immune response and disease susceptibility. Findings from studies on patients with different diseases, such as those with Mendelian phenotypes, colorectal cancer, osteoarthritis with obesity, and periodontitis, have contributed to understanding the function of Leng8. These insights may provide a basis for further research into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
