Abstract excerpt
The cardiac neural crest (CNC) plays a central role in development of the thymus gland and cardiovascular system. Through morphological and histological characterization of embryos homozygous for the Del(7)Tyr(c-112K) and Del(7)Tyr(c-3H) albino deletions, we identified abnormalities that are consistent with aberrant development of tissues requiring CNC contributions. The defects include incompletely penetrant...
