HGNC:25230 (protein-coding gene)

AT-hook DNA binding motif containing 1

Unique Cases:: 30

Disorders:: ID, ASD, EP, SCZ, CP

Last Updated:: November 4, 2024

Gene Summary:

DBD Genes Classification: AHDC1 is a High Confidence candidate gene classified as Tier 1. Tier 1 genes have three or more de novo pathogenic loss-of-function variants.

Gene Function: Transcription factor required for the proper patterning of the epidermis, which plays a key role in early epithelial morphogenesis (PubMed:35585237). Directly binds promoter and enhancer regions and acts by maintaining local enhancer-promoter chromatin architecture (PubMed:35585237). Interacts with many sequence-specific zinc-finger transcription factors and methyl-CpG-binding proteins to regulate the expression of mesoderm genes that wire surface ectoderm stratification (PubMed:35585237). {ECO:...
