The Foxl-2 gene is involved in eyelid and ovary development. Mutations can lead to a shortened protein and malformations such as BPES associated or not to POF. Forkhead point mutation C134W is a marker of adult type granulosa cell tumors only. Foxl-2 dysregulation is also present in DSD and DSD associated tumors such as Gonadoblastoma and gonadoblastoma like intratubular undetermined germ cell neoplasia. A similar spectrum of pathology involvement is also found for WT1 and RET and gives a new insight into the relationship between development, malformations and oncogenesis.
