Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in candidate genes that encode for a ligand (NDP) and receptor complex (FZD4, LRP5 and TSPAN12) in the Norrin β-catenin signaling pathway are involved in the pathogenesis of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR, MIM # 133780). Recently, a transcription factor (ZNF408) has also been implicated in FEVR. We had earlier characterized the variations in NDP among FEVR patients from India....
