Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the genetic origin of disease in four Chinese families with blepharophimosis syndrome. METHODS: Four Han Chinese families with blepharophimosis syndrome were ascertained and patients underwent complete physical and ophthalmic examinations. Blood samples were collected and genomic DNA was extracted. Sequence analysis of the forkhead transcriptional factor 2 (FOXL2) gene was performed by...
