  • *information is included based on availability of relevant clinical data: structural eye anomalies (n=59, PITX2, and n=68, FOXC1); glaucoma, n=32 and 58; dysmorphic facial features, n=37 and 42; systemic anomalies, n=57 and 65; dental anomalies, n=44 and 50; umbilical anomalies, n=52 and 65; hypospadias, n=28 and 24.
