<strong>Description</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>The NKX6-2 gene encodes a member of the NKX protein family of transcription factors, which have established roles during the development of an organism (summary by Chelban et al., 2017). </p><p>Homeobox genes act as master genes that control pattern formation and positional information during embryonic development. In the adult, they are thought to maintain the differentiated states of cell populations and to direct the renewal of specific cell types. While homeobox genes are widely expressed in the developing vertebrate nervous system, only a few, including NKX6B, continue to be expressed in the adult brain (summary by Lee et al., 2001). </p>

<strong>Cloning and Expression</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Nkx6.2 was isolated in mouse by Komuro et al. (1993). Expression of Nkx6.2 appeared to be tissue specific and developmentally regulated. In day-18 mouse embryos, it was expressed in part of the forebrain as well as in mid- and hindbrain, whereas in the adult CNS, expression was most abundant in areas rich in oligodendrocyte cell bodies and astrocytes. Together with DNA binding assays, these expression studies suggested that the Nkx6.2 gene product may be important for differentiated oligodendrocyte function and in the regulation of myelin gene expression. </p><p>Lee et al. (2001) cloned and characterized NKX6B, the human homolog of mouse Nkx6.2. The predicted 277-amino acid NKX6B protein shares 97% identity with mouse Nkx6.2 and 52% homology with NKX6A (NKX6-1; 602563). Northern blot analysis showed that NKX6B expression is tightly controlled in a tissue-specific fashion, with highest expression in brain. </p><p>Using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, Vallstedt et al. (2001) detected expression of Nkx6-2 first in the caudal neural tube in a broad ventral domain at approximately embryonic day 8.5. Nkx6-2 was expressed predominantly within the dorsal progenitor p1 domain and more weakly in the p0 domain. </p><p>In embryonic mice, Southwood et al. (2004) found expression of Nkx6-2 in cranial nerves, interneuron precursors, and motoneurons that extend axons into the periphery. Nkx6-2 continued to be expressed in the nucleus of oligodendrocytes in adult mouse brain. </p>

<strong>Gene Structure</strong>

<p>By DNA sequence analysis of an 11-kb genomic fragment, Lee et al. (2001) demonstrated that the NKX6B gene spans 1.2 kb and contains 3 exons. </p>

<strong>Mapping</strong>
</span>

<p>Using STS content mapping and radiation hybrid analysis, Lee et al. (2001) mapped NKX6B gene to 10q26, a region where loss of heterozygosity has frequently been observed in various malignant brain tumors. Lee et al. (2001) suggested that NKX6B may be a tumor suppressor gene for brain tumors, particularly for oligodendrogliomas. </p><p>Komuro et al. (1993) mapped the mouse Nkx6b gene to the distal portion of chromosome 7. </p>

<p>In 7 patients from 3 unrelated families with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia-8 (SPAX8; 617560), Chelban et al. (2017) identified homozygous mutations in the NKX6-2 gene (K41X, 605955.0001 and L163V, 605955.0002). The mutations, which were found by exome sequencing, segregated with the disorder in the families. Cells from a patient with the nonsense mutation showed absence of the truncated protein, consistent with a complete loss of function; functional studies and studies of patients cells with the missense mutation were not performed. </p><p>Dorboz et al. (2017) identified biallelic mutations in the NKX6-2 gene in 5 patients, including 2 sib pairs, from 3 unrelated families with SPAX8. The patients from families 1 and 2 had homozygous mutations (605955.0003 and 605955.0004) and the sibs from family 3 had compound heterozygous mutations (605955.0005 and 605955.0006). The mutations, which were identified by whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing, segregated with the disorder in the families.

<strong>Animal Model</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Vallstedt et al. (2001) obtained Nkx6-2 -/- mice at the expected mendelian ratio, and Nkx6-2 -/- mice survived through adulthood. Examination of progenitor cell fate in embryonic Nkx6-2 -/- spinal cord suggested that Nkx6-2 in p1 progenitor cells promoted generation of V1 interneurons and helped to suppress V0 interneurons. Use of Nkx6-1/Nkx6-2 compound mutant embryos revealed that Nkx6-1 and Nkx6-2 had an equivalent inhibitory influence of generation of V0 interneurons. Nkx6-1 and Nkx6-2 also had additive effects, with higher or lower total Nkx6 content directing progenitors to different interneuron or motor neuron cell fates. </p><p>Southwood et al. (2004) found that Nkx6-2-null mice had deficits in motor coordination and nerve conduction in the central nervous system. These abnormalities were associated with myelination defects at paranodal junctions, particularly in the optic nerve, and aberrant expression of downstream genes involved in cytoskeletal and cell adhesion functions. The findings suggested a role for Nkx6-2 in the regulation of axon-glial interactions at myelin paranodes. </p>

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
