Abstract excerpt
Tbx3, a T-box gene family member related to the Drosophila gene optomotor blind (omb) and encoding a transcription factor, is expressed in anterior and posterior stripes in developing chick limb buds. Tbx3 haploinsufficiency has been linked with the human condition ulnar-mammary syndrome, in which predominantly posterior defects occur in the upper limb. Omb is expressed in Drosophila wing development in response...
