The signs and symptoms of Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, and Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome Type 2 may include the following: Very frequently present symptoms in 80-99% of the cases: Blepharophimosis Depressed nasal bridge Epicanthus Ptosis Frequently present [dovemed.com]

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]

Therefore, the possibility of BPES must be borne in mind in any patient presenting with POF and associated characteristic eye features. [asean-endocrinejournal.org]

Etiology In > 85% of cases, BPES is caused by an intragenic mutation (80%), gene deletion (10-12%), deletion of regulatory elements outside of the FOXL2 gene (3q23)( FOXL2 locus. [orpha.net]

Etiology Inherited as autosomal dominant with up-to 50% happened sporadically Pathophysiology BPES types I and II were each mapped on the long arm of chromosome 3, due to mutations within, or influencing FOXL2 gene, Its protein product expressed in lids [eyewiki.aao.org]

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]

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]

Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, and Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome Type 2 may not be preventable, since it is a genetic disorder. [dovemed.com]
