Forkhead box E3
Foxe3
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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009] (from

GeneRIF
Hamilton, Canada. In Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci, 2012
the ectopic activation of downstream effectors of the hedgehog signaling pathway in the mouse lens disrupts normal fiber cell differentiation by a mechanism consistent with a sustained epithelial cellular developmental program driven by FoxE3.

A deletion in a cis element of Foxe3 causes cataracts and microphthalmia in rct mice.
GeneRIF
Abashiri, Japan. In Mamm Genome, 2011

Review
Bristol, United Kingdom. In Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2011
Much of our knowledge about the underlying mechanisms of cataractogenesis has come from the genetic analysis of affected families: there are contributions from genes coding for transcription factors (such as FoxE3, Maf, Pitx3) and structural proteins such as crystallins or connexins.

Mouse models of cataract.
Review
München, Germany. In J Genet, 2009
In this review, several mouse models will be discussed with emphasis on the underlying genetic basis rather than the morphological features as exemplified by the following: (i) the most frequent mutations in congenital cataracts affect genes coding for gamma-crystallins (gene symbol: Cryg); (ii) some postnatal, progressive cataracts have been characterized by mutations in the beta-crystallin encoding genes (Cryb); (iii) mutations in genes coding for membrane proteins like MIP or connexins lead to congenital cataracts; (iv) mutations in genes coding for transcription factors such as FoxE3, Maf, Sox1, and Six5 cause cataracts; (v) mouse models suffering from hereditary age-related cataracts (e.g.
