Genetic Regulation of Wnt/PCP Components Through Fgf10/Fgfr2/Sox9 Module in Tear Duct Development

Key Points

• This research aims to establish the genetic connection between Fgf signaling and Wnt/PCP pathway in tear duct development.
• Investigated genetic interactions in tear duct formation.
• Analyzed the role of Fgf10, Fgfr2, and Sox9 in development.
• Assessed potential implications for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
• Identified a direct genetic link between Fgf signaling and Wnt/PCP components.
• Confirmed the involvement of Wnt/PCP components in tear duct development.
• Suggested a potential risk for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction associated with these components.
