An NR2F1-dependent retinoic acid network controls retinal specialization in mice and reveals foveal hypoplasia in patients with BBSOAS
An NR2F1-RA/CYP26A1 regulatory axis linking developmental retinal regionalization to human foveal specialization is established and human NR2F1 binds a conserved regulatory region upstream of CYP26A1, supporting its direct role in regulating local RA availability.
