Mutations in this gene are associated with microphthalmia, cataracts and iris abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]. * **UniProt Summary**: Plays a significant role in the specification and morphogenesis of the sensory retina. May also participate in the development of the cells of the inner nuclear layer, particularly bipolar cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Homeobox| |OAR| |visual perception| |sensory perception of light stimulus| |sequence-specific DNA binding| |sensory perception| |nervous system process| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
