lmx1b, a LIM homeodomain class transcription factor, is necessary for normal development of multiple tissues in the anterior segment of the murine eye
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Proper development of the anterior segment of the mammalian eye is critical for normal ocular function. Indeed, several congenital syndromes associated with anterior segment anomalies can lead to impaired vision and glaucoma. One such syndrome is nail patella syndrome (NPS), caused by haploinsufficiency for the LIM-homeodomain transcription factor LMX1B. Although mutations in LMX1B cosegregate with NPS, whether...
