Microphthalmos

Information about Microphthalmos: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Microphthalmos

Most recent studies have shown that Microphthalmos shares some biological mechanisms with anophthalmos, blind-vision, cataract, cleft-palate, congenital-abnormality, congenital-absence, congenital-ocular-coloboma-(disorder), corneal-diseases, cytogenetic-abnormality, disorder-of-eye, dysplasia, eye-abnormalities, glaucoma, hypoplasia, microcephaly, neoplasms, retinal-detachment, retinal-diseases, trisomy.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Microphthalmos, and have been seen in publications frequently: Bone Resorption, Cell Cycle, Cell Death, Cell Development, Cell Differentiation, Cell Proliferation, Dna Repair, Enucleation, Eye Development, Eye Morphogenesis, Localization, Mating, Melanocyte Differentiation, Neurogenesis, Ossification, Osteoclast Differentiation, Pathogenesis, Pigmentation, Transdifferentiation, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Microphthalmos, such as DCT, GJA1, KIT, MFRP, MITF, MLANA, OTX2, PAX6, POMC, RPE, SHH, SOX2, SS18L1, TYR, TYRP1, VSX2. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
