Novel mutation in FOXC1 wing region causing Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly.
PURPOSE To determine the possible molecular genetic defect underlying Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly (ARA) and to identify the pathogenic mutation causing this anterior segment dysgenesis in an Indian pedigree. METHODS The FOXC1 gene was amplified from genomic DNA of members of an ARA-affected family and control subjects using four novel sets of primers. The amplicons were directly sequenced, and th...
متن کاملThe Axenfeld syndrome and the Rieger syndrome.
A family is reported in which both the syndrome of Axenfeld and the eye malformations of the syndrome of Rieger occur, indicating that both may be expressions of the same gene. We also review the associated anomalies already reported, emphasise their high incidence, suggest that these are not accidental associations, and propose some possible explanations for the high incidence.
متن کاملNovel mutations in the FOXC1 gene in Japanese patients with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome
PURPOSE Mutations in the forkhead transcription factor (FOXC1) gene have been shown to cause juvenile glaucoma associated with a variety of anterior-segment anomalies. The purpose of this study was to determine the ocular and genetic characteristics of two Japanese families with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS). METHODS Genomic DNA was extracted from the leukocytes of six members of two familie...
متن کاملA Novel Homozygous Mutation in FOXC1 Causes Axenfeld Rieger Syndrome with Congenital Glaucoma
BACKGROUND Anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) disorders are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous phenotypes in which frequently cornea, iris, and lens are affected. This study aimed to identify novel mutations in PAX6, PITX2 and FOXC1 in families with anterior segment dysgenesis disorders. METHODS We studied 14 Pakistani and one Mexican family with Axenfeld Rieger syndrome (ARS;...
متن کاملCurrent molecular understanding of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome.
Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder affecting the development of the eyes, teeth and abdomen. The syndrome is characterised by complete penetrance but variable expressivity. The ocular component of the ARS phenotype has acquired most clinical attention and has been dissected into a spectrum of developmental eye disorders, of which open-angle glaucoma r...
