CHCH
CHCH (coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix) domain, InterPro IPR010625, formerly DUF657: a eukaryotic twin CX9C disulfide-stabilized helical hairpin found in mitochondrial intermembrane-space proteins imported by the Mia40/CHCHD4 relay.
CHD1
CHD1 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 1) is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler, founding member of the CHD family, that binds H3K4me3, slides nucleosomes, and is frequently deleted in prostate cancer.
CHD1 deletion in prostate cancer
CHD1 deletion is a recurrent loss of the CHD1 chromatin-remodeling gene in prostate cancer, found in 8% to 27% of tumors and defining the ETS-fusion-negative subtype.
CHD3-related developmental delay-speech delay-intellectual disability-abnormalities of vision-facial dysmorphism syndrome
CHD3-related developmental delay-speech delay-intellectual disability-abnormalities of vision-facial dysmorphism syndrome, better known as Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome (SNIBCPS), is a rare genetic disorder caused by variants in the CHD3 gene.
