Abstract
The article informs about structure, mapping, and expression of human SOX18 genes. SOX genes are found throughout the animal kingdom and encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors involved in a wide range of developmental processes. Several SOX genes have been implicated in inherited human disorders: SRY in male-to-female sex reversal and gonadal dysgenesis; SOX9 in the skeletal dysmorphogenesis syndrome campomelic dysplasia. Furthermore, targeted disruption in mice has demonstrated vital roles for Sox4 in cardiac development, Sox9 in chondrogenesis and Sox1 in lens development.
