High impact information on TEX28

Color vision disorders that result from the deletion of color pigment genes should be reappraised for associated phenotypes that may derive from disruption of the TEX28 gene [1].
This gene (termed TEX28) is composed of five exons that span almost the entire distance between the protein-coding regions of the color pigment genes and a transketolase-related gene [1].
TEX28 gene (fTEX) is present immediately downstream of the red/green visual pigment gene array on the human X chromosome [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of TEX28

The region from intron 4 of the last genes, to the nearest neighbor gene, TEX28, was also efficiently amplified by the long-range PCR and the gel-purified products (27.5 kb) were used as the template in the second PCR for exon 5 [3].
