Abstract excerpt
A calpain 3 (Capn3) deficiency model was created by targeted disruption of the mouse Capn3 gene through homologous recombination in ES cells. Analysis of the genotype of pups from heterozygous crosses revealed a transmission ratio distortion (TRD) in favor of homozygous Capn3-deficient mice. This TRD was not observed in a second model of Capn3 deficiency, ruling out a possible involvement of Capn3 deficiency in...
