Abstract excerpt
Nkx2.5/Csx and dHAND/Hand2 are conserved transcription factors that are coexpressed in the precardiac mesoderm and early heart tube and control distinct developmental events during cardiogenesis. To understand whether Nkx2.5 and dHAND may function in overlapping genetic pathways, we generated mouse embryos lacking both Nkx2.5 and dHAND. Mice heterozygous for mutant alleles of Nkx2.5 and dHAND were viable....
