Abstract The homeodomain-containing transcription factor Pitx2 (pituitary homeobox protein 2) is present in many developing embryonic tissues, including the heart. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

They are present at birth and appear as raised yellow-white tissue which can be segmental or extend for the full limbal circumference. Some present as a dark ring around the cornea. The apophyses can be elevated 2-3mm and extend for 3-5mm laterally. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  CONCLUSION: The rare coincidence of a dermoid cyst and Klippel-Feil syndrome suggests the possibility that a disturbance in the mesoderm before the fourth week of gestation might play an important part in the causation of dermoid cyst [17]. [wikigenes.org]
