Abstract excerpt
SHFM3 is a limb malformation characterized by the absence of central digits. It has been shown that this condition is associated with tandem duplications of about 500 kb at 10q24. The Dactylaplasia mice display equivalent limb defects and the two corresponding alleles (Dac1j and Dac2j) map in the region syntenic with the duplications in SHFM3. Dac1j was shown to be associated with an insertion of an unspecified...
