Abstract excerpt
The Zeb2 gene encodes a transcription factor (ZEB2) that acts as an important immune mediator in mice, where it is expressed in early-activated effector CD8 T cells, and limits effector differentiation. Zeb2 homozygous knockout mice have deficits in CD8 T cells and NK cells. Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a rare genetic disease resulting from heterozygous mutations in ZEB2 causing disease by haploinsufficiency....
