Tbx1 and Brn4regulate retinoic acid metabolic genes during cochlear morphogenesis
29 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In vertebrates, the inner ear is comprised of the cochlea and vestibular system, which develop from the otic vesicle. This process is regulated via inductive interactions from surrounding tissues. Tbx1, the gene responsible for velo-cardio-facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome in humans, is required for ear development in mice. Tbx1 is expressed in the otic epithelium and adjacent periotic mesenchyme...
