Premature ovarian failure and forkhead transcription factor FOXL2: blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome and ovarian dysfunction
Pediatr Endocrinol Rev.
2005 Jun.
Abstract
Recently the molecular basis of the blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus-syndrome (BPES), an autosomal dominant developmental disorder of the eyelids and ovary, was elucidated. This syndromic form of premature ovarian failure (POF) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the forkhead transcription factor FOXL2. In this manuscript we review the clinical features of BPES, its molecular basis, the structural and functional characteristics of the FOXL2 gene and protein, and known animal models.
