About TCF4

Cytogenetic location: 18q21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 18:55,222,185-55,635,957 (from NCBI)

This gene has 93 transcripts (splice variants), 213 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 17.0), fat (RPKM 14.9) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes transcription factor 4, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor. The encoded protein recognizes an Ephrussi-box ('E-box') binding site ('CANNTG') - a motif first identified in immunoglobulin enhancers. This gene is broadly expressed, and may play an important role in nervous system development. Defects in this gene are a cause of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. In addition, an intronic CTG repeat normally numbering 10-37 repeat units can expand to >50 repeat units and cause Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
