Forkhead box protein E1

The FOXE1 gene encodes a transcription factor that plays an important role in thyroid morphogenesis. Mutations cause autosomal recessive Bamforth-Lazarus syndrome which is characterized by athyroid hypothyroidism and in an autosomal dominant manner non-medullary thyroid cancer.
