Gene ID: 668 | Gene type: protein coding

About FOXL2

Cytogenetic location: 3q22.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:138,944,224-138,947,137 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 170 orthologues, 42 paralogues and is associated with 72 phenotypes.

Summary

This gene encodes a forkhead transcription factor. The protein contains a fork-head DNA-binding domain and may play a role in ovarian development and function. Expansion of a polyalanine repeat region and other mutations in this gene are a cause of blepharophimosis syndrome and premature ovarian failure 3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
