Towards a functional classification of pathogenic FOXL2 mutations using transactivation reporter systems
10 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Mutations of FOXL2 are responsible for the Blepharophimosis-Ptotsis-Epicantus-inversus Syndrome (BPES), involving complex eyelid malformations often associated with premature ovarian failure (POF). Loss-of-function mutations are expected to lead to BPES associated with POF, whereas hypomorphic mutations would lead to BPES without ovarian dysfunction. However, multiple exceptions to the genotype-phenotype...
