Abstract excerpt
Dysgenesis of the anterior segment of the eye delineates a spectrum of human developmental disorders that show wide phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. It is also frequently associated with cataracts and glaucoma resulting in visual disability in childhood. The recently described forkhead transcription factor gene Foxe3 was shown to be involved in the dysgenetic lens phenotype in mice, which is characterized by...
