paired-like homeodomain 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PITX1 gene.[1][2][3]

Function

This gene encodes a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. Members of this family are involved in organ development and left-right asymmetry. This protein acts as a transcriptional regulator involved in basal and hormone-regulated activity of prolactin.[3]

Clinical relevance

Mutations in this gene have been associated with autism[4], club foot[5] and polydactyly[6] in humans.

Genetic Basis of Pathologies

Genomic rearrangements at the PITX1 locus are associated with Liebenberg syndrome.[7] In PITX1 Liebenberg is associated with a translocation or deletions, which cause insert promoter groups into the PITX1 locus.[7] A missense mutation within the PITX1 locus is associated with the development of autosomal dominant clubfoot.[5]

Interactions

PITX1 has been shown to interact with Pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1.[8]
