A new mouse model for the trisomy of the Abcg1–U2af1 region reveals the complexity of the combinatorial genetic code of down syndrome
26 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
Mental retardation in Down syndrome (DS), the most frequent trisomy in humans, varies from moderate to severe. Several studies both in human and based on mouse models identified some regions of human chromosome 21 (Hsa21) as linked to cognitive deficits. However, other intervals such as the telomeric region of Hsa21 may contribute to the DS phenotype but their role has not yet been investigated in detail. Here we...
