Mutations in Sox18 underlie cardiovascular and hair follicle defects in ragged mice.

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of classical mouse mutations has been useful in the identification and study of many genes. We previously mapped Sox18, encoding an SRY-related transcription factor, to distal mouse chromosome 2. This region contains a known mouse mutation, ragged (Ra), that affects the coat and vasculature. Here we have directly evaluated Sox18 as a candidate for Ra. We found that Sox18 is expressed in the developing...
