Abstract excerpt
Blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES) is an autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development, the features of which are small palpebral fissures (blepharophimosis), drooping eyelids (ptosis) and a skin fold arising from the lower eyelid (epicanthus inversus). The chromosomal localization and identity of the BPES locus is not known with certainty. In the current paper, DNA samples from three individuals with a...
