HOXC12 (Homeobox C12) is a Protein Coding gene, and is affiliated with the lncRNA class. Diseases associated with HOXC12 include Clubfoot. HOXC12 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. HOXC12 is one of several homeobox HOXC genes located in a cluster on chromosome 12.
