Summary
This gene encodes a transcription factor that plays an important role in the development of forebrain. Male mice lacking this gene have smaller brains, olfactory bulbs and testes, and die within half a day after birth. Mice lacking this gene specifically in ganglionic eminence-derived neurons, including cortical interneurons, develop seizures. Mutations in this gene have been demonstrated to cause mouse phenotypes resembling human X-linked lissencephaly and cognitive disability with epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
