Description preview
Project Summary
The fibers of the ciliary zonule suspend the lens on the optical axis and transmit the forces that flatten it during
disaccommodation. Mutations in genes encoding zonular proteins underlie syndromic and non-syndromic
conditions that affect the eye profoundly. Common ocular phenotypes include ectopia lentis (lens dislocation),…
