Study identifies 19 genetic variants related to anophthalmia and microphthalmia, suggesting expanded clinical implications.
This study broadens the molecular spectrum of syndromic A/M with 19 distinct variants identified across 16 different genes. Furthermore, some variants were detected in genes that have been rarely, or not previously, linked to human A/M, thereby highlighting atypical clinical findings and suggesting a possible expansion of the phenotypic spectrum associated with these genes.
