About OLIG2

Cytogenetic location: 21q22.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 21:33,025,935-33,029,185 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 196 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is associated with 38 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward brain (RPKM 29.0).

Summary

This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. The protein is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. The gene is involved in a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22) associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Its chromosomal location is within a region of chromosome 21 which has been suggested to play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
