Abstract excerpt
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is linked to disruption of the Norrin/Frizzled-4 signaling pathway, which plays an important role in retinal angiogenesis. Severe or complete knock-down of proteins in the pathway also causes syndromic forms of the condition. Both heterozygous and biallelic pathogenic variants in the FZD4 gene, encoding the pathway's key protein frizzled-4, are known to cause FEVR....
