Abstract excerpt
The TLX2 (HOX11L1, Ncx, Enx) and PHOX2B genes encode transcription factors crucial in the development of neural-crest-derived cells, leading to ANS (autonomic nervous system) specific neuronal lineages. Moreover, they share a similar expression pattern and are both involved in downstream steps of BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) signalling. In an attempt to reconstruct the gene network sustaining the correct...
