FOXC1, otherwise known as Forkhead box C1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, shown to be involved in the development of the eye. Studies have shown that FOXC1 plays an important role in the regulation of the FGF19-FGFR4-MAPK pathway involved in the maintenance of anterior segment structures within the eye. Studies have also shown that FOXC1 is essential for the aggressive phenotype of basal-like triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), for which FOXC1 may prove to be a valuable diagnostic marker. Mutations in the FOXC1 gene are responsible for various ocular abnormalities including Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS), iridogoniodysgenesis anomaly (IGDA), and Peters anomaly.
