The thalamus of the brain acts as a relay station; taking inputs from several parts of the brain and then sending the information to the cortex and vice versa. It is also the structure know to affected in several brain developmental disorders such as schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, bipolar...
We used chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with DNA sequencing to identify TCF7L2 localization on thalamic genome. We report that among putative TCF7L2 direct targets are thalamic terminal effector genes.
