About FOXG1

Cytogenetic location: 14q12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 14:28,766,787-28,770,277 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 174 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes.

Summary

This locus encodes a member of the fork-head transcription factor family. The encoded protein, which functions as a transcriptional repressor, is highly expressed in neural tissues during brain development. Mutations at this locus have been associated with Rett syndrome and a diverse spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders defined as part of the FOXG1 syndrome. This gene is disregulated in many types of Cancer and is the target of multiple MicroRNAs that regulate the proliferation of tumor cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]
