Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is an autosomal dominant entity characterized by eyelid malformations and caused by mutations in the forkhead box L2 (FOXL2) gene.
Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by FOXL2 gene mutations, and it is clinically characterized by an eyelid malformation associated (type I) or not (type II) with premature ovarian failure (POF).
Blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES) is an autosomal dominant genetic condition resulting from heterozygous mutations in the FOXL2 gene and clinically characterized by an eyelid malformation associated (type I) or not (type II) with premature ovarian failure.
FOXL2 transcription factor is responsible for the Blepharophimosis Ptosis Epicantus inversus Syndrome (BPES), a genetic disease involving craniofacial malformations often associated with ovarian failure.
We conducted an extensive clinical, hormonal and ovarian histological study in two patients carrying a FOXL2 mutation associated with the typical eyelid malformations and infertility.
Mutations in FOXL2 are known to cause blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES), an autosomal dominant eyelid malformation associated (type I) or not (type II) with ovarian dysfunction, leading to premature ovarian failure (POF).
Mutations of FOXL2 are responsible for the Blepharophimosis-Ptotsis-Epicantus-inversus Syndrome (BPES), involving complex eyelid malformations often associated with premature ovarian failure (POF).
Mutations of the FOXL2 gene have been shown to cause blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES), characterized by an eyelid malformation associated with premature ovarian failure or not.
Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), an autosomal dominant syndrome in which an eyelid malformation is associated (type I) or not (type II) with premature ovarian failure (POF), has recently been ascribed to mutations in the forkhead transcription factor 2 (FOXL2) gene.
Blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES), an autosomal dominant syndrome in which an eyelid malformation is associated (type I) or not (type II) with premature ovarian failure (POF), has recently been ascribed to mutations in FOXL2, a putative forkhead transcription factor gene.
