About POU3F4

Cytogenetic location: Xq21.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:83,508,290-83,512,127 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 177 orthologues, 17 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the POU-III class of neural transcription factors. This family member plays a role in inner ear development. The protein is thought to be involved in the mediation of epigenetic signals which induce striatal neuron-precursor differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with X chromosome-linked nonsyndromic mixed deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
