{"symbol":"SIX6","synonyms":["ODRMD","OPTX2","MCOPCT2","SIX9"],"name":"SIX homeobox 6","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a homeobox protein that is similar to the Drosophila \u0027sine oculis\u0027 gene product. This gene is found in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 14 and is thought to be involved in eye development. Defects in this gene are a cause of isolated microphthalmia with cataract type 2 (MCOPCT2).
