Abstract excerpt
Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) is a congenital autosomal dominant disorder with phenotypic variability, which has been associated with mutations in the GJA1 gene encoding connexin43 (Cx43). Given that Cx43 mutants are thought to be equally co-expressed with wild-type Cx43 in ODDD patients, it is imperative to examine the consequence of these mutants in model systems that reflect this molar ratio. To that end,...
