Mutations of the forkhead/winged-helix gene, FKHL7, in patients with Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.
- A. Mears, T. Jordan, +17 authors M. Walter
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 November 1998
Genetic linkage, genome mismatch scanning, and analysis of patients with alterations of chromosome 6 have indicated that a major locus for development of the anterior segment of the eye, IRID1, is… Expand
Functional interactions between FOXC1 and PITX2 underlie the sensitivity to FOXC1 gene dose in Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome and anterior segment dysgenesis.
Axenfeld-Rieger ocular dysgenesis is associated with mutations of the human PITX2 and FOXC1 genes, which encode transcription factors of the homeodomain and forkhead types, respectively. We have… Expand
Molecular genetics of Axenfeld-Rieger malformations.

- 15 May 2002
Axenfeld-Rieger (AR) malformations are autosomal dominant developmental defects of the anterior segment of the eye, and often result in glaucomatous blindness. AR malformations are associated with… Expand
Functional analyses of two newly identified PITX2 mutants reveal a novel molecular mechanism for Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome.

The specific role of PITX2 in the pathogenesis of anterior segment dysgenesis has yet to be clearly defined. We provide here new insight into PITX2 pathogenesis through mutational and functional… Expand
Structural and functional analyses of disease-causing missense mutations in the forkhead domain of FOXC1.

Five missense mutations (P79L, P79T, I91S, I91T and R127H) within the forkhead DNA-binding domain of the FOXC1 transcription factor, identified in patients with Axenfeld-Rieger (AR) malformations,… Expand
Genomics and anterior segment dysgenesis: a review
Anterior segment dysgenesis refers to a spectrum of disorders affecting structures in the anterior segment of the eye including the iris, cornea and trabecular meshwork. Approximately 50% of patients… Expand
SOX Genes: Architects of Development
Development in higher organisms involves complex genetic regulation at the molecular level. The emerging picture of development control includes several families of master regulatory genes which can… Expand
