Overview of Gene Research
Kng1, encoding high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK), is a gene with multifaceted functions. HMWK is a glycoprotein closely associated with the initiation of blood coagulation, tumor growth, and other pathological processes [3]. It participates in the contact system, which is involved in coagulation, fibrinolysis, and kinin generation [1]. Genetic models can be crucial in further exploring its function.
Mutations in Kng1 are linked to various conditions. Pathogenic, biallelic Kng1 variants cause severe high-molecular-weight kininogen deficiency, an autosomal recessive contact system defect [2]. In hereditary angioedema with normal C1-INH activity (HAE-nl-C1-INH), mutations in Kng1 (HAE-KNG1) are among the underlying causes [1]. Also, a missense mutation (c.618 T > G, p.Cys206Trp) and a nonsense mutation (c.1165C > T, p.Arg389X) in Kng1 lead to disruption of a disulfide bond and truncation of the D5 domain in HMWK, resulting in its deficiency and a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) [3].
In conclusion, Kng1 is essential for normal blood coagulation and related physiological processes. Studies on Kng1, especially through gene-based models, have advanced our understanding of coagulation factor deficiencies and hereditary angioedema. These findings contribute to improving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for conditions associated with Kng1 mutations.
