In humans, FOXL2 mutations or deletions cause blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) leading to eyelid defects and, in BPES type I, primary ovarian insufficiency. BPES is also associated with a wide range of less common phenotypes such as craniofacial features, cleft palate, or heart defects. In this study, we generated a new constitutive Foxl2-Cre mouse model using CRISPR\/Cas9 editing. Crossing Foxl2-Cre mice with Rosa-tdTomato reporter confirmed robust and specific labeling of FOXL2+ cells during fetal development. We provide a detailed characterization of the permanent labeling of cells that, at any time in development, expressed Foxl2, with a particular interest on organs associated with a spectrum of features identified in BPES patients. Our model effectively targeted key reproductive tissues, such as fetal ovarian somatic cells, including granulosa, interstitium and theca-cell precursors, the anterior pituitary, and mesenchymal cells of the uterus and oviduct. We also identified Foxl2-derived cells in the supporting-like cells of the testis, as well as in the peri-urethral cells of the external genitalia. Beyond the reproductive organs, Foxl2-derived cells were identified in several other tissues relevant to BPES, including the head, palate, and the outflow tract of the heart. Overall, this Foxl2-Cre model provides a new tool for reproductive organ studies, and our characterization of Foxl2-derived cell fate brings a new perspective into the potential roles of FOXL2 in the wide spectrum of clinical features associated with BPES.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/biolre\/ioag116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T11:35:25Z","timestamp":1780400125000},"page":"832-849","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A
