NCIt related terms : Dachshund-Homolog 1; Dachshund Family Transcription Factor 1; ANNA-3 Antigen; NEURONAL NUCLEAR TYPE 3 AUTOANTIGEN;
NCIt definition : Dachshund homolog 1 (758 aa, 79 kDa) is encoded by the human DACH1 gene. This protein
plays a role in both organ development and transcriptional regulation.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An antigen encoded by the DACH1 gene and regulates gene expression and cell
fate determination during development. It can be considered as a neuronal autoantigen
and is commonly associated with autoimmune neurodegenerative and paraneoplastic disorders
related to cancer.;
NCIt note : Dachshund homolog 1 has been identified as the autoantigen targeted by anti-neuronal
nuclear antibody-type 3 (ANNA3; ANNA-3), which is a marker for paraneoplastic neurologic
syndrome. (Ann Neurol. 2022;91:670-675.);
