Structurally altered basement membranes and hydrocephalus in a type XVIII collagen deficient mouse line

14 Jul 2004

Abstract excerpt

Type XVIII collagen/endostatin is known to be crucial for the eye, as witnessed by severe eye defects in Knobloch syndrome patients with mutations in this collagen and in Col18a1(-/-) mice. We show here that in a specific C57BL background, 20% of the Col18a1(-/-) mice developed hydrocephalus, and dilation of the brain ventricles was observed by MRI in all of the mutant mice. Significant broadening was observed in...
