Study of human eye malformations to identify genes implicated in eye development. Defining the role of these genes, mostly eye/brain transcription factors (eg PAX6, SOX2, OTX2) and major signalling molecules (eg SHH), in mice and zebrafish. Exploration of cis-regulatory control mechanisms to identify upstream regulators and downstream targets and generate gene regulatory networks. Study of mechanisms of phenotype modulation.
Keywords: Human disease genetics / eye anomalies / cis-regulation of gene expression / gene-environment interaction / genome evolution
