Hnefatafl

Hnefatafl, the Viking-era asymmetric tafl board game: attackers capture the king, defenders help him escape. Modern Copenhagen rules (11×11, 24 v 12+king) date to 2012; all rules are reconstructions from Linnaeus's 1732 tablut record.

HNF1A

HNF1A (TCF1, MODY3) is a human gene on chromosome 12q24.31 encoding the HNF-1α transcription factor that regulates liver-specific and beta-cell genes; pathogenic variants cause HNF1A-MODY, treatable with low-dose sulfonylureas, and somatic biallelic loss drives hepatocellular adenomas.

HNF1B

HNF1B (TCF2), a transcription factor gene on chromosome 17q12; heterozygous variants or deletions cause renal cysts and diabetes syndrome (MODY5), the commonest monogenic cause of developmental kidney disease, with hypomagnesemia, gout, and pancreatic hypoplasia.

HNF4A

HNF4A (NR2A1), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha, is a chromosome 20q13.12 gene encoding a homodimeric nuclear receptor transcription factor regulating liver and pancreatic beta cell genes; mutations cause MODY1 and congenital hyperinsulinism.

HNK Hajduk Split

HNK Hajduk Split, Croatian football club founded 1911 in Split, plays at Poljud Stadium, supported by Torcida ultras (founded 1950); owned by City of Split and fans' association Naš Hajduk.

HNK Rijeka

HNK Rijeka, Croatian football club founded 1946 as NK Kvarner (roots to 1906 Olimpia), plays at Rujevica stadium; Croatian champions 2017 and 2025, seven Croatian Cups, two Yugoslav Cups.

HNRNPA1-related adult-onset distal myopathy

HNRNPA1-related adult-onset distal myopathy, also called distal myopathy type 3 (MPD3) or Finnish upper limb-onset distal myopathy, is a rare autosomal dominant HNRNPA1 gene muscle disease causing adult-onset hand and foot weakness with rimmed vacuoles; no approved treatment exists.

HNRNPA2B1

HNRNPA2B1 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1, also HNRPA2, IBMPFD2) is a human chromosome 7p15.2 gene encoding a 353-amino-acid RNA-binding protein with two RRM domains that packages pre-mRNA, reads m6A marks, stabilizes transcripts, and causes multisystem proteinopathy when mutated.

HNRNPC

HNRNPC (hnRNP C1/C2) is a human chromosome 14 gene encoding a poly-U-binding nuclear RNA-binding protein, a 40S hnRNP particle component, indirect m6A reader via the m6A-switch, splicing regulator, and neurodevelopmental disorder and cancer gene.

HNRNPD

HNRNPD, also called AUF1, is a human chromosome 4 gene encoding an RNA-binding protein with four splice isoforms (p37, p40, p42, p45) that binds AU-rich mRNA elements, regulating mRNA decay, translation, telomeres, and immune and cancer gene expression.

HNRNPK

HNRNPK (hnRNP K, AUKS, CSBP) is a human gene at 9q21.32 encoding a 463-aa, ~66 kDa DNA/RNA-binding protein with three KH domains that binds poly(C), coactivates p53, and acts as dual oncogene and tumor suppressor.

HNRNPU

HNRNPU, also called SAF-A or hnRNP U, is a DNA- and RNA-binding nuclear matrix protein on chromosome 1q44 that stabilizes 3D genome architecture, tethers XIST and FIRRE RNAs, and causes neurodevelopmental disorder and lymphoma when mutated.

HNRP A1 (HNRNPA1)

hnRNP A1 (HNRNPA1), an abundant RNA-binding protein at 12q13.13 with two RRMs, RGG box, and M9 shuttling domain; regulates splicing, telomerase, stress granules, IRES translation; ALS/MSP mutations.

Hnry Stadium/wellington Regional Stadium
