{"symbol":"FOXE1","synonyms":["FOXE2","TTF2","NMTC4","HFKH4","TITF2","HFKL5","TTF-2","FKHL15"],"name":"forkhead box E1","description":"This intronless gene encodes a protein that belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors. Members of this family contain a conserved 100-amino acid DNA-binding \u0027forkhead\u0027 domain. The encoded protein functions as a thyroid transcription factor that plays a role in thyroid morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with the Bamforth-Lazarus syndrome, and with susceptibility to nonmedullary thyroid cancer-4.
