Twenty-one DREAM-binding sites were tested and found to impact gene expression in luciferase assays, to notably regulate genes mutated in dyskeratosis congenita (Rtel1), Fanconi anemia (Fanca), Diamond–Blackfan anemia (Tsr2), primary microcephaly [Casc5 (or Knl1), Ncaph and Wdr62] and pontocerebellar hypoplasia (Toe1). The gene discussed is WDR62; the disease is Primary microcephaly.
