Abstract excerpt
The Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) is an autosomal dominantly inherited malformation syndrome presenting as an association of imperforate anus, triphalangeal and supernumerary thumbs, malformed ears and sensorineural hearing loss. Mutations in SALL1, a gene mapping to 16q12.1, were identified as a cause for TBS. To elucidate how SALL1 mutations lead to TBS, we have performed a series of functional studies with the...
