GlossaryFOXC2

gene involved in tissue development and hair follicle regulation

FOXC2 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the development and function of various tissues, including the formation of blood vessels and the regulation of fat storage. Mutations in FOXC2 can lead to conditions like lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome, which is characterized by swelling due to fluid retention and the presence of extra eyelashes. This gene also plays a role in hair follicle development and can impact hair growth and health.
