Paired-like homeodomain 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PITX1 gene. ^{[5] [6] [7]}

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. ^[7]

Clinical relevance

Mutations in this gene have been associated with autism, ^[8] club foot ^[9] and polydactyly ^[10] in humans.

Genetic basis of pathologies

Genomic rearrangements at the PITX1 locus are associated with Liebenberg syndrome. ^[11] In PITX1 Liebenberg is associated with a translocation or deletions, which cause insert promoter groups into the PITX1 locus. ^[11] A missense mutation within the PITX1 locus is associated with the development of autosomal dominant clubfoot. ^[9]

Interactions

PITX1 has been shown to interact with pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1. ^[12]
