Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mutations of the forkhead transcription factor 2 (FOXL2) gene on the primary and secondary structure of the coded protein and seek for the molecular mechanism of blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES). METHODS: The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 7 clinically diagnosed BPES patients, PCR amplification of...
