Abstract

We seek to establish new collaborative links between scientists of various disciplines (developmental biology, clinical genetics, ophthalmology and epidemiology) in order to maximise the potential for successful identification of developmental pathways and genetic factors in the aetiology of the eye defects microphthalmia, anophthalmia and coloboma. 

Duration

Three Years, from September 2001 to June 2004.
