Gene: FOXC1

Alternate names for this Gene: ARA|ASGD3|FKHL7|FREAC-3|FREAC3|IGDA|IHG1|IRID1|RIEG3

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct DNA-binding forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it has been shown to play a role in the regulation of embryonic and ocular development. Mutations in this gene cause various glaucoma phenotypes including primary congenital glaucoma, autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis anomaly, and Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p25.3

Description of this Gene: forkhead box C1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
