Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microtia is a prevalent congenital malformation, the precise etiology and pathogenesis of which remain elusive. Mutations in the non-coding region of the HMX1 gene have been implicated in isolated cases of microtia, emerging as a significant focus of contemporary research. Several pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) proximal to the HMX1 gene have been documented in wild animal populations,...
