Overview of Gene Research
Bpifa3, with currently no widely-known common aliases, has been associated with certain biological functions relevant to disease susceptibility. While its exact core function is not fully elaborated in the provided references, it is part of the BPIFA gene cluster on chromosome 20q11.21. Pathway analysis in one study connected top candidates to the TGFβ pathway, suggesting Bpifa3 may be involved in this pathway [2]. Understanding Bpifa3 through genetic models like KO or CKO mouse models could potentially shed more light on its in-vivo functions.

In a genome-wide association study for otitis media susceptibility in childhood, Bpifa3 in the BPIFA gene cluster was among the top hits in a gene-based analysis in VEGAS (P(Gene) = 2 × 10(-5)), indicating its possible role in determining susceptibility to otitis media [2]. In a systematic review and meta-analysis of skin ageing, Bpifa3 was one of the loci associated with skin ageing (odds ratio 1.859, 95% confidence interval [1.567, 2.151]), suggesting it may play a part in the genetic mechanisms of skin ageing [1].

In conclusion, Bpifa3 appears to be associated with otitis media susceptibility and skin ageing. Genetic studies, potentially including KO/CKO mouse models in the future, could further clarify its function in these disease areas, enhancing our understanding of the underlying biological processes related to otitis media and skin ageing.
