Inactivation of the mouse Magel2 gene results in growth abnormalities similar to Prader-Willi syndrome
27 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is an imprinted genetic obesity disorder characterized by abnormalities of growth and metabolism. Multiple mouse models with deficiency of one or more PWS candidate genes have partially correlated individual genes with aspects of the PWS phenotype, although the genetic origin of defects in growth and metabolism has not been elucidated. Gene-targeted mutation of the PWS candidate gene...
