{"symbol":"POU4F3","synonyms":["DFNA15","DFNA42","BRN3C"],"name":"POU class 4 homeobox 3","description":"This gene encodes a member of the POU-domain family of transcription factors. POU-domain proteins have been observed to play important roles in control of cell identity in several systems. This protein is found in the retina and may play a role in determining or maintaining the identities of a small subset of visual system neurons. Defects in this gene are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 15.
