Abstract excerpt
The periocular mesenchyme (POM) is a transient migratory embryonic tissue derived from neural crest cells (NCCs) and paraxial mesoderm that gives rise to most of the structures in front of the eye. Morphogenetic defects of these structures can impair aqueous humor outflow, leading to elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma. Mutations in collagen type IV alpha 1 (COL4A1) and alpha 2 (COL4A2) cause Gould...
