Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the genetic mutation in two Chinese families and 6 sporadic patients with belpharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES). METHODS: Polymorphisms of 5 satellite markers on 3q were analyzed and linkage analysis was performed using linkage software (MLINK) in all cases of two families. FOXL2 gene fragments were amplified by PCR and mutation was determined by sequencing DNA...
