FOXI1

Forkhead box I1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXI1 is_associated_with::gene.

This gene belongs to the forkhead family of is_associated_with::transcription factors which is characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it is possible that this gene plays an important role in the development of the is_associated_with::cochlea and is_associated_with::vestibulum, as well as is_associated_with::embryogenesis. wo transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene are associated with is_associated_with::enlarged vestibular aqueduct.
