MEIS1 and Schnyder corneal dystrophy: Finally, because the Meis family participates in cardiogenesis (Stankunas et al., 2008; Mahmoud et al., 2013) and has been associated with SCD by independent GWA studies (Pfeufer et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2011), it is tempting to speculate that Meis1 mutations in humans would result in heart dysfunctions due to cardiac malformations and/or regeneration, sympatho-vagal deregulation of cardiac rhythmicity, or a combination of dysfunctions affecting both compartments.
