| 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. |
