Abstract excerpt
Mutations of FOXL2, a gene encoding a forkhead transcription factor, have been shown to cause the blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome. This genetic disorder is characterized by eyelid and craniofacial abnormalities associated or not with premature ovarian failure. We have previously shown that mutant FOXL2 with an expanded polyAlanine (polyAla) tract forms large aggregates both in the nucleus and...
