Abstract excerpt
There is incomplete penetrance to Tgfb1 knockout phenotypes. About 50% of Tgfb1 homozygous mutant (Tgfb1-/-) and 25% of Tgfb1 heterozygous (Tgfb1+/-) embryos die during embryogenesis. In a mixed NIH/Ola x C57BL/6J/Ola x 129 background partial embryonic lethality of the Tgfb1-/-embryos occurs due to defective yolk sac vasculopoiesis and/or hematopoiesis. We show here that on a predominantly CF-1 genetic...
