Background
Homeobox-containing genes are thought to have a role in controlling development. In Drosophila, the 'engrailed' (en) gene plays an important role during development in segmentation, where it is required for the formation of posterior compartments. Different mutations in the mouse homologs, En1 and En2, produced different developmental defects that frequently are lethal. The human engrailed homologs 1 and 2 encode homeodomain-containing proteins and have been implicated in the control of pattern formation during development of the central nervous system.

Function
disease:Genetic variations in EN2 may be associated with susceptibility to autism type 10 (AUTS10) [MIM:611016]. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by disturbance in language, perception and socialization. The disorder is classically defined by a triad of limited or absent verbal communication, a lack of reciprocal social interaction or responsiveness, and restricted, stereotypical and ritualized patterns of interests and behavior.,similarity:Belongs to the engrailed homeobox family.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,
