Disease relevance of Gscl

 

High impact information on Gscl

 

Biological context of Gscl

  • Gscl, a paired-type homeobox gene, has been implicated in the pathology of DGS/VCFS by virtue of its genomic location and its structural similarity to the Gsc gene family [3].
  • Gscl encodes a Goosecoid-related homeodomain protein that is expressed during mouse embryogenesis [2].
  • Gscl is located within a region of the mouse genome that is syntenic with the region commonly deleted in DiGeorge and velocardiofacial syndrome (DGS/VCFS) patients [2].
 

Anatomical context of Gscl

  • Gscl, a gene within the minimal DiGeorge critical region, is expressed in primordial germ cells and the developing pons [3].
  • Gscl expression is also detected in a subset of adult tissues, including brain, eye, thymus, thyroid region, stomach, bladder and testis [2].
  • Interestingly, expression of the adjacent Es2 gene in the pons region of Gscl null fetuses was absent, suggesting that mutations within the DGS/VCFS region can influence expression of adjacent genes [2].
