Here, we present the construction of a YAC contig spanning the entire BPES locus using 17 polymorphic markers, 2 STS and 28 ESTs. This region of approximately 5 Mb was covered by 31 YACs, and was supported by detailed FISH analysis. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]

Finally, cleft lip and palate may represent a very low frequency sign within the spectrum of the BPES, or be present in our patients only by chance, especially in family 2 where two half-sibs presented cleft lip/palate. [scielo.br]

In total, seven family members were recruited in the present study, including four affected and three unaffected members. [spandidos-publications.com]

Thus, decreased apoptotic and antiproliferative activities caused by mutant forms of FOXL2 found in BPES patients may at least partially contribute to the pathophysiology of ovarian dysfunction. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

described families affected with POF and eye features of BPES. [8], [9], [10] The genetic pathophysiology of BPES is due to a FOXL2 gene mutation which is responsible for BPES type I and II, which is located on the long arm of chromosome 3 (3q23). [asean-endocrinejournal.org]

Two pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed. One suggests an initial process of inhibition of follicular development and an increase in the level of follicular atresia. [elsevier.es]
