Disease relevance of GSCL

 

Psychiatry related information on GSCL

  • This expression pattern is consistent with GSCL having either an indirect role in the development of neural crest-derived structures or a direct role in a subset of the phenotype observed in DGS/VCFS, such as learning disorders or psychiatric disease [3].
 

High impact information on GSCL

  • The identification of GSCL required a genomic sequence-based approach because of its restricted expression and high GC content [1].
  • A yeast 2-hybrid screen was performed to identify possible transcriptional modulators interactive with goosecoid-like (gscl), a transcription factor with suppressive activity, expressed during early brain and gonad development [4].
  • It is possible that the vertebrate GSCL gene is also required for embryonic development [5].
