The caudal-related homeobox gene Cdx-2/3 is a critical "master" control gene in embryogenesis. Mice heterozygous for a null mutation in Cdx-2/3 exhibit multiple malfunctions including tail abnormalities, stunted growth, a homeotic shift in vertebrae, and the development of multiple intestinal adenomatous polyps, indicating that Cdx-2/3 is haplo-insufficient. In vitro studies have identified more than a half-dozen...
