Abstract excerpt
Multiple mutations in SOX2 have been identified in patients with ocular anomalies and/or pituitary dysfunction. Here, we identified SOX2 abnormalities in nine patients. The molecular defects included one missense, one nonsense and four frameshift mutations, and three submicroscopic deletions involving SOX2. Three of the six mutations and all deletions were hitherto unreported. The breakpoints determined in one...
