Abstract excerpt
Pax6 is a member of the mammalian Pax transcription factor family. Many of the Pax genes display semi-dominant loss-of-function heterozygous phenotypes, yet the underlying cause for this dosage requirement is not known. Mice heterozygous for Pax6 mutations exhibit small eyes (Sey) and in embryos the most obvious defect is a small lens. We have studied lens development in Pax6(Sey)(-1Neu)/+ embryos to understand...
