Background
The NKX2-1 gene encodes a protein initially identified as a thyroid-specific transcription factor (TTF). TTF1 binds to thyroglobulin promoter and regulates the expression of thyroid-specific genes but has also been shown to regulate the expression of genes involved in morphogenesis. Mutations and deletions in this gene are associated with benign hereditary chorea, choreoathetosis, congenital hypothyroidism, and neonatal respiratory distress, and may be associated with thyroid cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.Synonyms: Homeobox protein NK-2 homolog A, Homeobox protein Nkx-2.1, NKX2-1, Nkx-2.1, TITF1, TTF-1, Thyroid nuclear factor 1, Thyroid transcription factor 1
