Abstract excerpt
The mouse limb deformity (ld) phenotype is characterized by developmental failure of distal limb structures often associated with renal anomalies. It is caused by loss of the BMP-antagonist Gremlin in the limb buds, either through mutation of Grem1, or by loss of a transcriptional global control region (GCR) located in the neighboring Fmn1 gene. In this report, we describe a new allele of ld due to complete...
