Abstract
Peter's Anomaly is a developmental disorder of the eye and has been linked to mutations in a range of genes, including the transcription factor FOXE3. Here the authors use next-generation RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry to identify an autophagy-associated protein, DNAJB1 as the transcriptional target of FOXE3.
