    gene encoding a transcription factor crucial for tissue development

    FOXC1, or Forkhead Box C1, is a gene that encodes a transcription factor involved in the regulation of gene expression. This protein plays a crucial role in the development of various tissues, including the eyes, heart, and kidneys. Mutations in the FOXC1 gene can lead to developmental disorders such as Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, which can affect the eyes and other parts of the body.
