Variant & Polymorphism
Candidate gene
  • for craniosynostosis
  • for myopathy
  • Marker
  • may be a novel and potential prognostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Mice homozygous for mutant allele p(100H), which interrupt the p gene and the Sox6 gene, show delayed growth, develop progressive atrioventricular heart block, significant ultrastructural changes in both cardiac, skeletal muscle cells and die within 2 wk after birth
  • Sox6 single null mice are born with mild skeletal abnormalities
  • Sox5-Sox6 double null fetuses die with a severe, generalized chondrodysplasia
  • Sox6-deficient mice are anemic due to impaired red cell maturation and show inappropriate globin gene expression in definitive erythrocytes
