| Gene Summary |
HIC1 is a transcriptional repressor. HIC1 may act as a tumor suppressor. HIC1 may be involved in development of head, face, limbs and ventral body wall. Defects in HIC1 may be a cause of the facial dysmorphism and additional birth defects (except for lissencephaly) seen in the contiguous gene disorder Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS), like defective development of the nose, jaws, extremities, gastrointestinal tract, and kidney. |
