Conserved genetic pathways associated with microphthalmia, anophthalmia, and coloboma
1 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
The human eye is a complex organ whose development requires extraordinary coordination of developmental processes. The conservation of ocular developmental steps in vertebrates suggests possible common genetic mechanisms. Genetic diseases involving the eye represent a leading cause of blindness in children and adults. During the last decades, there has been an exponential increase in genetic studies of ocular...
