Abstract excerpt
Mice homozygous for targeted disruption of the zinc finger domain of Gli2 (Gli2(zfd/zfd)) die at birth with developmental defects in several organ systems including the skeleton. The current studies were undertaken to define the role of Gli2 in endochondral bone development by characterizing the molecular defects in the limbs and vertebrae of Gli2(zfd/zfd) mice. The bones of mutant mice removed by cesarian...
