  Our data correlate well with clinical observations suggesting a milder deficiency for the R24H mutation compared to those of other Pitx2 homeodomain mutations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Given that PITX2 functions in eye development, these findings suggest mutations in PITX2 as a potential cause of RDC. [jmg.bmj.com]
