Manufacturer/Ship Location: China

Background: This gene encodes 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. This protein is involved in lens formation during eye development. Mutations of this gene have been associated with anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis and congenital cataracts.

Function: Disease: Defects in PITX3 are a cause of autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC) [MIM: 602669]. ADCC is characterized by dominant transmission of a phenotype consisting of bilateral congenital cataracts in a mother and son without clinical anterior-segment anomalies
Disease: Defects in PITX3 are the cause of posterior polar cataract type 4 (CTPP4) [MIM: 610623]. Cataract is the most frequent cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Posterior polar cataract is a distinctive opacity located at the back of the lens. Because of its proximity to the optical center of the eye, posterior polar cataract can have a marked effect on visual acuity
Disease: Defects in PITX3 may be the cause of anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis (ASMD) [MIM: 107250], also known as anterior segment ocular dysgenesis (ASOD). ASMD includes all malformations involving the first (corneal endothelium and
