That study also revealed a critical role for ankef1 in the embryonic development of the frog, with morphants exhibiting phenotypes including spina bifida and a shortened body axis.
Further, knowledge-fused differential dependency network analysis identified ten node genes that in the HF offspring were uniquely connected to genes linked to increased cancer risk (ANKEF1, IGFBP6, SEMA5B), increased resistance to cancer treatments (SLC26A3), poor prognosis (ID4, JAM3, TBX2), and impaired anticancer immunity (EGR3, ZBP1).

Three polymorphisms in two genes on chromosome 20p12 (JAG1 and ANKRD5) were then found to be associated with total IgE in 420 nuclear families of Costa Rican children with asthma.
