Oral-facial-digital type 1 (OFD1) syndrome is an X-linked dominant condition characterized by malformations of the face, oral cavity, and digits. The responsible gene, OFD1, maps to human Xp22 and has an unknown function. We isolated and characterized the mouse Ofd1 gene and showed that it is subject to X-inactivation, in contrast to the human gene. Furthermore, we excluded a role for Ofd1 in the pathogenesis of...
