Summary
Clathrin (see MIM 118955)-mediated endocytosis is a major mechanism for internalization of proteins and lipids. Members of the connecdenn family, such as DENND1A, function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the early endosomal small GTPase RAB35 (MIM 604199) and bind to clathrin and clathrin adaptor protein-2 (AP2; see MIM 601024). Thus, connecdenns link RAB35 activation with the clathrin machinery (Marat and McPherson, 2010 [PubMed 20154091]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
DENN domain-containing protein 1A, DENN/MADD domain containing 1A, connecdenn 1
 
Function
Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) regulating clathrin-mediated endocytosis through RAB35 activation. Promotes the exchange of GDP to GTP, converting inactive GDP-bound RAB35 into its active GTP-bound form. Regulates clathrin-mediated endocytosis of synaptic vesicles and mediates exit from early endosomes (PubMed:20154091, PubMed:20937701). Binds phosphatidylinositol-phosphates (PtdInsPs), with some preference for PtdIns(3)P (By similarity).

Hyperandrogenism and irregular menses 
Pcos risk variants-rs10986105[C] and rs10818854[A] 
Rotterdam criteria 
Related 
PCOS-376 Icelandic,565 from Boston, MA and 203 from Chicago, IL and 6,947, 483, and 189 controls from Iceland, Boston, and Chicago respectively 
The same allele of rs10986105 that increased the risk of PCOS also increased the risk of hyperandrogenism in women without PCOS from Iceland and demonstrated a stronger risk for PCOS defined by the National Institutes of Health criteria than the Rotterdam criteria.

SNP rs2479106 in gene DENND1A 
 
Direct 
Denmark-268 patients with PCOS between 1997 and 2011 and 248 controls 
The rs2479106 G (DENND1A gene) allele was associated with a decreased PCOS susceptibility. 
THADA 
Hyperandrogenism and irregular menses 
Variation in the gene  
NICHD criteria 
Direct 
European derived PCOS cohorts-(cohort A = 939 cases and 957 controls) and (cohort B = 535 cases and 845 controls) 
At least two of the PCOS susceptibility loci identified in the Chinese PCOS GWAS (DENND1A and THADA) are also associated with PCOS in European derived populations, and are therefore likely to be important in the aetiology of PCOS regardless of ethnicity.

The PCOS susceptibility genes, THADA and DENND1A, carry risk alleles that are associated with endocrine and metabolic disturbances in PCOS patients of Han Chinese descent
