Abstract excerpt
Constitutive loss of transcription factor GATA-2 leads to embryonic lethality from primitive erythropoietic failure. We serendipitously discovered an essential contribution of GATA-2 to urogenital development when the hematopoietic deficiency of Gata2 null mutant animals was complemented by a Gata2 yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) transgene; these mice died from a perinatal lethal urogenital abnormality. Here,...
