Summary
TCF12 (transcription factor 12, HGNC:11623) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q21.3, encoding Transcription factor 12 (Q99081). Transcriptional regulator. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) E-protein family that recognizes the consensus binding site (E-box) CANNTG. This encoded protein is expressed in many tissues, among them skeletal muscle, thymus, B- and T-cells, and may participate in regulating lineage-specific gene expression through the formation of heterodimers with other bHLH E-proteins. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.

- study identifes E proteins(HEB, E2A) as AML1-ETO targets whose dysregulation may be important for t(8;21) leukemogenesis, as well as an E protein silencing mechanism that is distinct from that associated with differentiation-inhibitory proteins (PMID:15333839)
- dHAND/E-protein (E2A, ME2, and ALF1) heterodimers have distinct DNA binding specificities (PMID:15351717)

- The DNA binding profile of the E-protein HEB was grossly rearranged upon expression of AML1/ETO, and the fusion protein was found to co-localize with both AML1 and HEB on many of its regulated targets (PMID:19043539)
- T cell development is impaired by Id2, most likely by sequestering HEB, whereas NK cell development is promoted by increasing a pool of CD1a-CD5+ NK cell progenitors, which together with IL-15 differentiate into mature NK cells (PMID:20483740)
- As a first exploitation of this unique cohort, we identify three novel candidate dyslexia genes, ZNF280D and TCF12 at 15q21, and PDE7B at 6q23.3, by molecular mapping of the familial translocation with the 15q21 breakpoint. (PMID:20798984)

- TCF12 functioned as a transcriptional repressor of E-cadherin and its overexpression was significantly correlated with the occurrence of CRC metastasis. (PMID:22130667)
- haploinsufficiency of TCF12 causes coronal synostosis in humans and that severe bilateral coronal synostosis occurs in mice with 50% of the wild-type dosage of both the Tcf12 and Twist1 genes highlights the key role of TCF12 acting with TWIST1. (PMID:23354436)
- the CD91/IKK/NF-kappaB signaling cascade is involved in secreted HSP90alpha-induced TCF12 expression, leading to E-cadherin down-regulation and enhanced CRC cell migration/invasion (PMID:23386606)
- In t(8;21) leukemia cells, the two E proteins, HEB and E2A, function as components of the stable AML1-ETO-containing transcription factor complex (AETFC). The AETFC components cooperatively regulate gene expression and contribute to leukemogenesis. (PMID:23812588)
- Within the AETFC complex, AML1-ETO oligomerization is required for a specific interaction between the oligomerized NHR2 domain and a novel NHR2-binding (N2B) motif in E proteins, including HEB and E2A. Disruption of this interaction by point mutations abrogates AML1-ETO-induced hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell self-renewal and leukemogenesis. (PMID:23812588)

- HEB may be involved in GBM cell proliferation, as HEB silencing reduced proliferation in cells cultured as monolayers or neurospheres. Furthermore, the results suggested a potential role for HEB in the maintenance of GBM stem cells, as HEB silencing affected the differentiation capacity of cells. (PMID:27779678)
- enforced expression of transcription factor 12 suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, transcription factor 12 protein may be a novel molecule which plays a critical role in prostate cancer progression and patients’ prognosis, suggesting it might be a promising therapeutic target for prostate cancer therapy (PMID:28651494)
- These results identify HEB as a critical regulator of human mesodermal and hematopoietic specification. (PMID:28803914)
- Pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in non-FGFR genes were identified in 43 individuals, with diagnostic yields of 14% and 15% in retrospective and prospective cohorts, respectively. Variants were identified most frequently in TCF12 (N = 22) and EFNB1 (N = 8), typically in individuals with nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis or TWIST1-negative clinically suspected Saethre-Chotzen syndrome.

Furthermore, the proliferation, migration and invasion were inhibited and apoptosis was induced by miR26a upregulation in OC cells. These results indicated that miR26a may act as a tumor suppressor in OC, and TCF12 targeting by miR26a. (PMID:31789414)

Tissue specificity. Expressed in several tissues and cell types including skeletal muscle, thymus, and a B-cell line.
Disease relevance. Craniosynostosis 3 (CRS3) [MIM:615314] A primary abnormality of skull growth involving premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. The growth velocity of the skull often cannot match that of the developing brain resulting in an abnormal head shape and, in some cases, increased intracranial pressure, which must be treated promptly to avoid permanent neurodevelopmental disability. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 26 with or without anosmia (HH26) [MIM:619718] A form of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, a group of disorders characterized by absent or incomplete sexual maturation by the age of 18 years, in conjunction with low levels of circulating gonadotropins and testosterone, and no other abnormalities of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. In some cases, it is associated with non-reproductive phenotypes, such as anosmia, cleft palate, and sensorineural hearing loss. Anosmia or hyposmia is related to the absence or hypoplasia of the olfactory bulbs and tracts. In the presence of anosmia, idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is referred to as Kallmann syndrome, whereas in the presence of a normal sense of smell, it has been termed normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH). HH26 is characterized by micropenis and cryptorchidism at birth in male patients, and absent puberty and anosmia in male or female patients. Some affected individuals also exhibit craniosynostosis. Inheritance can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The 9aaTAD motif is a transactivation domain present in a large number of yeast and animal transcription factors.
Induction. Expression is repressed by ZNF652 and CBFA2T3.
