A forkhead gene, FoxE3, is essential for lens epithelial proliferation and closure of the lens vesicle.

Abstract excerpt

In the mouse mutant dysgenetic lens (dyl) the lens vesicle fails to separate from the ectoderm, causing a fusion between the lens and the cornea. Lack of a proliferating anterior lens epithelium leads to absence of secondary lens fibers and a dysplastic, cataractic lens. We report the cloning of...
