Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human FOXC1 transcription factor gene underlie Axenfeld-Rieger (AR) syndrome, a disorder characterized by anterior segment malformations in the eye and glaucoma. Through the use of an inducible FOXC1 protein, along with an intermediate protein synthesis blocker, we have determined direct targets of FOXC1 transcriptional regulation. FOXC1 regulates the expression of FOXO1A and binds to a conserved...
