背景信息:
BarX1 belongs to the Bar subclass of the homeobox gene family. The function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, studies in the mouse and chick homolog suggest a role in developing teeth and craniofacial mesenchyme of neural crest origin. The role of these homologs implicates the human gene as a candidate for unmapped disorders involving tooth and jaw development.
