Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The PHOX2A gene is located on chromosome 17q21.1. * It is a member of the paired like homeobox 2A (PHOX2A) family of homeobox genes. * The protein encoded by PHOX2A is a transcription factor that is expressed in a variety of cell types. * It is involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. **Pathways and functions:** * The PHOX2A gene is involved in the development of the midbrain. * It is a key factor in the specification of the midbrain region during neural tube formation. * It is also involved in the development of the sympathetic nervous system and the eye. * The protein encoded by PHOX2A is a key factor in the differentiation of sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. * It is also involved in the regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the PHOX2A gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including autism, schizophrenia, and developmental disorders. * These mutations can disrupt the normal function of the PHOX2A protein, leading to a variety of developmental problems. * As such, the PHOX2A gene is a promising target for the treatment of human diseases that are caused by mutations in this gene.
