Tbx1 haploinsufficiency leads to local skull deformity, paraflocculus and flocculus dysplasia, and motor-learning deficit in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome [PDF]
Neurodevelopmental disorders are thought to arise from intrinsic brain abnormalities. Alternatively, they may arise from disrupted crosstalk among tissues.

Tbx1 regulates brain vascularization [PDF]
The transcription factor TBX1 is the major gene involved in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS). Using mouse models of these diseases, we have previously shown that TBX1 activates VEGFR3 in endothelial cells (EC), and that this interaction is critical for the development of the lymphatic vasculature.

TBX1 Functions as a Tumor Activator in Prostate Cancer by Promoting Ribosome RNA Gene Transcription
TBX1 belongs to an evolutionarily conserved family of transcription factors involved in organ development. TBX1 has been reported to have a hypermethylated cytosine guanine dinucleotide island around its second exon, which was related to prostate cancer (

TBX1, which encodes a T-box transcription factor, is considered a candidate gene for DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, and conotruncal anomaly face syndrome.

Background TBX1 (T-box transcription factor 1) is a major candidate gene that likely contributes to the etiology of velo-cardio-facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS).

Conditional and constitutive expression of a Tbx1-GFP fusion protein in mice. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Velo-cardio-facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS) is caused by a 1.5-3 Mb microdeletion of chromosome 22q11.2, frequently referred to as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS).

VEGFR3 modulates brain microvessel branching in a mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
This study provides genetic evidence that VEGFR3 regulates vessel branching and filopodia formation in the embryonic mouse brain and is a likely mediator of brain vessel anomalies in Tbx1 mutant mice.

ObjectivesTbx1 mutant mice are a widely used model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) because they manifest a broad spectrum of physical and behavioral abnormalities that is similar to that found in 22q11.2DS patients.

Reduced dosage of β-catenin provides significant rescue of cardiac outflow tract anomalies in a Tbx1 conditional null mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. [PDF]
The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS; velo-cardio-facial syndrome; DiGeorge syndrome) is a congenital anomaly disorder in which haploinsufficiency of TBX1, encoding a T-box transcription factor, is the major candidate for cardiac outflow tract (OFT ...

Endoderm‐specific deletion of Tbx1 reveals an FGF‐independent role for Tbx1 in pharyngeal apparatus morphogenesis [PDF]
Background: The T‐box transcription factor Tbx1, is essential for the normal development of multiple organ systems in the embryo. One of the most striking phenotypes in Tbx1−/− embryos is the failure of the caudal pharyngeal pouches to evaginate from the foregut endoderm.
