Abstract excerpt
Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder caused by developmental abnormalities affecting cranial nerves/nuclei innervating the extraocular muscles. Autosomal dominant CFEOM arises from heterozygous missense mutations of KIF21A or TUBB3. Although spatiotemporal expression studies have shown KIF21A and TUBB3 expression in developing retinal ganglion...
