Publication Link Summary of findings
12490080 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
12624147 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)

18089803 GDNF can act as an important component of the inflammatory response in breast cancers and its effects aare mediated by GFR alpha 1 receptors.
17825269 GFRalpha-1 were observed within sensory and motor nuclei of cranial nerves, dorsal column nuclei, olivary nuclear complex, reticular formation, pontine nuclei, locus caeruleus, raphe nuclei, substantia nigra, and quadrigeminal plate.
16644101 Loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra may induce changes in the expression of GDNF but not its receptor snd Parkinson disease.
12490080 GFRA1-193C > G and 537T > C could be in linkage disequilibrium with other loci responsible for medullary thyroid cancer
12065680 The expression of GFRA1 in normal infants and normoganglionic colon of patients with Hirschsprung's disease was restricted to receptor tyrosine kinase(RET)-negative glial cells and RET-positive neurons of the ganglionic plexus.
17298301 The role of heparin and heparan sulfate in GDNF signalling remains unclear, but the present study indicates that it does not occur in the first step of the pathway, namely GDNF-GFRalpha1 engagement.
