TWIST1 gene

Description
The TWIST1 gene (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1) [HGNC Gene ID:12428] is located on chromosome 7p21.2. Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors have been implicated in cell lineage determination and differentiation. The protein encoded by this gene is a bHLH transcription factor and shares similarity with another bHLH transcription factor, Dermo1. The strongest expression of this mRNA is in placental tissue; in adults, mesodermally derived tissues express this mRNA preferentially. Mutations in this gene have been found in patients with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] [NCBI Gene ID:7291] Source: National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene
