Postnatal relevance of HOXA5 transcription factor in cerebellum-associated behaviors and disorders.

It is indicated that postnatal Hoxa5 deficiency selectively enhances stereotyped behaviors without broadly affecting motor or social functions, which supports a model in which HOXA5 acts as a modulator of postnatal precerebellar circuit connectivity and/or function, with subtle behavioral consequences that require further research in specific genetic or environmental contexts.
