Structural and Functional Characterization of the Mouse Sox9 Promoter: Implications for Campomelic Dysplasia
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in SOX9 cause campomelic dysplasia (CD), a dominant skeletal dysmorphology and XY sex reversal syndrome. The CD phenotype is sensitive to dosage and expression levels of SOX9. Sox9 is expressed during chondrocyte differentiation and is up-regulated in male and down-regulated in female genital ridges during sex differentiation. In order to study the sex- and tissue-specific regulation of Sox9, we have...
