Abstract excerpt
SALL4 is one out of four human homologues of the DROSOPHILA region-specific homeotic gene SPALT(SAL). Heterozygous mutations of SALL4 on chromosome 20q13.13--> q13.2 cause the autosomal dominant Okihiro syndrome which is characterized by radial limb defects, Duane anomaly and hearing loss. We have partially cloned the murine homologue of this gene, named SALL4, and completed the coding sequence by comparison to...
