    Journal: Mol Vis; 2010 May 08; 16():813-8. PubMed ID: 20461149.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report unusual ocular manifestations of branchio-oculo-facial syndrome (BOFS) caused by a novel mutation in activating enhancer binding protein 2 alpha (TFAP2A). METHODS: Full ophthalmological evaluation and direct sequencing of TFAP2A. RESULTS: A 10-year-old girl with unusual ocular manifestations of BOFS such as elliptical shaped microcornea and a novel de novo TFAP2A mutation was identified. CONCLUSIONS: This report expands the ocular phenotypic spectrum of BOFS and adds to the small number of reported TFAP2A mutations.
