About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0460
Species: human
Position : chr9:973683-975683
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Telencephalic developmental defects
Pubmed ID:  30143575
Enhancer experiment: RNA SEQ, QRT PCR, statistical analysis, immunofluorescence staining, gene knockdown
Enhancer experiment description: We find that DMRT3 and DMRT5 act as critical regulators of progenitor cell dorsoventral identity by repressing ventralizing regulators. Conditional overexpression of Dmrt5 throughout the telencephalon produces gene expression and structural defects that are highly consistent with reduced GSX2 activity. Related to this study, a loss-of-function mutation in the human DMRT5/DMRTA2 gene has been found to be associated with microcephaly (Urquhart et al., 2016).
