Human genetics - 1 May 2005
Chi Young-In
Abstract excerpt
The homeodomain is a highly conserved DNA-binding motif that is found in numerous transcription factors throughout a large variety of species from yeast to humans. These gene-specific transcription factors play critical roles in development and adult homeostasis, and therefore, any germline mutations associated with these proteins can lead to a number of congenital abnormalities. Although much has been revealed...
