Interestingly, our RNAseq analysis revealed significant enrichment in cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix adhesion pathways among genes misregulated in the Lmx1a-/- CH, suggesting that in addition to Lhx2, Lmx1a regulates CH/hippocampus segregation via adhesion genes. Here, LHX2 is linked to cyclic hematopoiesis.
