HOXC11
homeobox C11
This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXC genes located in a cluster on chromosome 12. The product of this gene binds to a promoter element of the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase. It also may play a role in early intestinal development. An alternatively spliced variant encoding a shorter isoform has been described but its full-length nature has not been determined.

AD Risk Scores
About AD Risk Scores
The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has developed a Target Risk Score (TRS) to objectively rank the potential involvement of specific genes in AD. The TRS is derived by summing two component risk scores, the Genetic Risk Score and the Multi-omic Risk Score, each of which is derived from a meta-analysis of multiple harmonized data sets. More information about the methodology used to define these risk scores is available here.
AD Risk Scores for HOXC11
The TRS for HOXC11, along with the component Genetic and Multi-omic Risk Scores, is shown here. The scores for HOXC11 are superimposed on the genome-wide score distributions. If No Data is Currently Available is displayed for a score, that score was not calculated for HOXC11.
Biological Domain Classification
About Biological Domains
A biological domain represents a standardized area of biology defined by a set of discrete, biologically coherent GO terms. The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has defined nineteen biological domains associated with AD, and objectively mapped genes to those biological domains using GO term annotations. More information about the methodology used to define AD biological domains, and to generate genome-wide biological domain mappings, is available here.
Biological Domains for HOXC11
Select a biological domain on the left to see the list of GO terms that link HOXC11 to it on the right. The percentage value displayed next to the currently selected biological domain indicates the proportion of HOXC11's total unique GO terms that map to the biological domain. The ratio displayed on the right indicates how many of the biological domain's total GO terms HOXC11 is annotated with.
