Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * ASCL1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor. * It is a key regulator of neural crest cell development and survival. * It is also involved in the development of the blood-brain barrier. **Pathways and functions:** * ASCL1 is a key regulator of neural crest cell development. * It is essential for the survival of neural crest cells, which are a type of stem cell that is responsible for the formation of the brain and spinal cord. * ASCL1 also plays a role in the development of the blood-brain barrier. * It is involved in the regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis, and differentiation. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the ASCL1 gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including autism, schizophrenia, and cancer. * In one study, mutations in ASCL1 were found in 20% of cases of autism spectrum disorder. * The ASCL1 gene has also been linked to the development of a number of other diseases, including colon cancer, breast cancer, and leukemia. **Additional notes:** * ASCL1 is a highly conserved gene, with a similar gene found in mice. * It is a member of the BHLH family of transcription factors. * ASCL1 is a key regulator of neural crest cell development and survival. * It is also involved in the development of the blood-brain barrier.
