Abstract excerpt
The homeobox transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 1beta (HNF1beta) is a tissue-specific regulator that plays an essential role in early vertebrate development. In humans, heterozygous mutations in the HNF1beta gene are associated with young-onset diabetes as well as a variety of disorders of renal development with cysts as the most consistent feature. This report compares and classifies nine different...
