Modifier genes in mice and humans.

Abstract excerpt

An emerging theme of studies with spontaneous, engineered and induced mutant mice is that phenotypes often depend on genetic background, implying that genetic modifiers have a role in guiding the functional consequences of genetic variation. Understanding the molecular and cellular basis by which modifier genes exert their influence will provide insights into developmental and physiological pathways that are...
