IHH enhancer variant within neighboring NHEJ1 intron causes microphthalmia anophthalmia and coloboma

Abstract Genomic sequences residing within introns of few genes have been shown to act as enhancers affecting expression of neighboring genes. We studied an autosomal recessive phenotypic continuum of microphthalmia, anophthalmia and ocular coloboma, with no apparent coding-region disease-causing mu...
