Molecular effects of Eya1 domain mutations causing organ defects in BOR syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Eya1 is a critical gene for mammalian organogenesis. Mutations in human EYA1 cause branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by varying combinations of branchial, otic and renal anomalies, whereas deletion of mouse Eya1 results in the absence of multiple organ formation. Eya1 and other Eya gene products share a highly conserved 271 amino acid Eya domain that is required for...
