Background
|
PITX3 is a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. Members of this family act as transcription factors. Mutations of PITX3 have been associated with anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis (ASMD) and congenital cataracts. PITX3 is involved in lens formation during eye development.This gene encodes a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins.
