Abstract

Mutations in the forkhead transcription factor gene (FOXC1) have been recently shown to cause some cases of juvenile glaucoma associated with a variety of anterior-segment anomalies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome caused by FOXC1mutations in Japanese patients.
