Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mutations in the forkhead transcription factor gene FOXC1 on 6p25 cause a range of ocular developmental abnormalities, with associated glaucoma. However, FOXC1 mutations have not been found in all similarly affected pedigrees mapping to this interval. This study was undertaken to investigate the potential role of 6p25 rearrangements in causing such phenotypes. METHODS: Two large families with autosomal...
