1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Pax genes are associated with a variety of developmental mutations in mouse and man that are gene dosage sensitive, or haploinsufficient. The Pax2 gene encodes a DNA binding, transcription factor whose expression is essential for the development of the renal epithelium. Both gain and loss of function mutants in the mouse demonstrate a requirement for Pax2 in the conversion of metanephric mesenchymal precursor...
