About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0486
Species: human
Position : chr9:81580468-81582468
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Postnatal microcephaly
Pubmed ID:  29758293
Enhancer experiment: Immunostaining
Enhancer experiment description: Using trio-based exome sequencing, we identified a homozygous missense mutation in the Transducin-like enhancer of split-1 (TLE1) gene, encoding for a non DNA-binding transcriptional corepressor, highly expressed in the postnatal brain. The regulation of the post-mitotic neural survival activity of TLE1 depends critically on an interaction with FOXG1, a gene shown to be involved in a postnatal microcephaly syndrome. Functional analysis on affected dermal fibroblasts showed a significant decrease in mitotic and proliferative index, indicating a lengthening of the cell cycle and a delay in mitosis, supporting that this gene could be a new candidate for postnatal microcephaly.
