## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Mutations in the __PITX2__ homeobox gene are known to contribute to Axenfeld‐Rieger syndrome (ARS), an autosomal‐dominant developmental disorder. Although most mutations are in the homeodomain and result in a loss of function, there is a growing subset in the C‐terminal d

Disease-causing mutations affecting either one of the transcription factor genes, PITX2 or FOXC1, have been previously identified in patients with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (AR). We identified a family who segregate novel mutations in both PITX2 (p.Ser233Leu) and FOXC1 (c.609delC). The most severely
## Abstract This study reports a 25‐year follow‐up of a patient with De Hauwere syndrome (Axenfeld–Rieger anomaly, hydrocephalus, and hearing loss) whose intelligence is normal. Short stature and hyperlaxity of joints later leading to severe joint pain were noted. Mutation analysis of candidate gen
