CUX2

CUX2 (Cut Like Homeobox 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CUX2 include Fiedler's Myocarditis. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include sequence-specific DNA binding and RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is CUX1.

cut-like homeobox 2

Transcription factor involved in the control of neuronal proliferation and differentiation in the brain. Regulates dendrite development and branching, dendritic spine formation, and synaptogenesis in cortical layers II-III. Binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner.

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 67 (DEE67):
A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe childhood onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE67 is an autosomal dominant form characterized by onset of seizures in infancy. Later onset of seizures in childhood may occur in some patients.
