Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR, OMIM 133780) is a severe inherited retinal disorder characterized by incomplete retinal vascular development and neovascularization. At least five genes have been reported to be associated with FEVR, including NDP, LRP5, FZD4, TSPAN12, and ZNF408. Recently reported data showed that mutations in the KIF11 gene can also lead to FEVR conditions. Previous...
