Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To screen ten genes for mutations in 32 Chinese patients with microphthalmia and/or coloboma. METHODS: Genomic DNA was prepared from 32 unrelated patients with microphthalmia (nine probands) and uveal coloboma (23 probands). Cycle sequencing was used to detect sequence variations in ten genes, including BMP4, VSX2, CRYBA4, GDF6, OTX2, RAX, SIX3, SIX6, SOX2, and LRP6. Variations were further evaluated in...
