Mutations within the RIEG1 homeobox gene on chromosome 4q25 have previously been reported in association with Rieger syndrome. We report a 3' splice site mutation within the 3rd intron of the RIEG1 gene which is associated with unilateral Peters' anomaly. The mutation is a single base substition of A to T at the invariant -2 site of the 3' splice site. Peters' anomaly, which is characterised by...

PURPOSE To evaluate the importance in anterior segment dysgenesis of genetic variation in Foxe3, a gene encoding a forkhead transcription factor specifically expressed in the lens. METHODS The phenotype of mice heterozygous for a mutation in the DNA-binding domain of Foxe3 was examined from histologic sections, and DNA binding by the encoded protein was investigated by gel-shift assay. FOXE3 ...

A case of Peters anomaly with bilateral post axial polydactyly, convex soles, ocular hypertelorism, a low nasal bridge, retrognathia, undescended testis, microphthalmia and club foot was examined in a neonatal Indian baby girl who had been delivered in the hospital and admitted to the newborn unit. She died aged five days. There were no cases of Peters anomaly recorded in India according to a l...

In Innumeracy in the Wild (Oxford University Press, 2020), Ellen Peters, a researcher decision science, persuasively argues that numeracy skills, numeric confidence, and our intuitive sense for numbers impact lifelong outcomes health wellbeing. Peters draws from research real-world examples to show how daily life innumerate people is different of numerate makes practical recommendations on impr...

According to Pruessner and Peters [G. Pruessner and O. Peters, Phys. Rev. E 73, 025106(R) (2006)], the finite-size scaling exponents of the order parameter in sandpile models depend on the tuning of driving and dissipation rates with system size. We point out that the same is not true for avalanches in the slow driving limit.
