OTX2 wt Allele

Preferred Label : OTX2 wt Allele;

NCIt synonyms : CPHD6; Orthodenticle Homeobox 2 wt Allele; MCOPS5;

NCIt definition : Human OTX2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 14q22.3 and is approximately 10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes homeobox protein OTX2, plays a role in the positive regulation of gene expression during embryonic pattern formation. Mutation of the gene is associated with both microphthalmia syndromic type 5 and pituitary hormone deficiency combined type 6.;

NCIt note : Aberrant expression of the OTX2 gene may be associated with subgroup 3 medulloblastoma. (Nature. 2012; 488:49-56.);

GenBank Accession Number : AF298117;
