T-box transcription factor 1 (TBX1)

Target
TBX1
Molecular classification
Transcription factor, T-box gene family
01

Overview

T-box transcription factor 1 (TBX1) is a member of the T-box family of DNA-binding transcription factors characterized by the T-box domain, binding to sequence-specific T-box binding elements in DNA to regulate gene expression. TBX1 plays a critical role in the embryonic development of the heart, large arteries, craniofacial structures, glands of the neck, and thymus. Mutations or deletions in TBX1 cause multiple congenital conditions, notably 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, which is associated with cardiac and craniofacial defects, hypocalcemia, and immunodeficiency. TBX1 is not currently a direct therapeutic target, but its genetic status provides important biomarker information for syndromic developmental disorders[1][2][3].
