{"symbol":"FOXE3","synonyms":["ASGD2","FKHL12","FREAC8","AAT11","CTRCT34"],"name":"forkhead box E3","description":"This intronless gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors, which is characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. The protein encoded functions as a lens-specific transcription factor and plays an important role in vertebrate lens formation. Mutations in this gene are associated with anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis and congenital primary aphakia.
