Abstract excerpt
LMX1B is a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor required for the normal development of dorsal limb structures, the glomerular basement membrane, the anterior segment of the eye, and dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons. Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in LMX1B cause nail patella syndrome (NPS). To further understand LMX1B gene regulation and to identify pathogenic mutations within the coding region, a...
