{"symbol":"SIX1","synonyms":["BOS3","DFNA23"],"name":"SIX homeobox 1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a homeobox protein that is similar to the Drosophila \u0027sine oculis\u0027 gene product. This gene is found in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 14 and is thought to be involved in limb development. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant deafness type 23 (DFNA23) and branchiootic syndrome type 3 (BOS3).
