Gene ID: 50943, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: JM2; AIID; IPEX; PIDX; XPID; DIETER

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcriptional regulators. Defects in this gene are the cause of immunodeficiency polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX), also known as X-linked autoimmunity-immunodeficiency syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
