Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to identify gene targets of TFII-I transcription factors involved in craniofacial development. DESIGN: Recent findings in individuals with Williams-Beuren syndrome who show facial dysmorphism and cognitive defects have pointed to TFII-I genes (GTF2I and GTF2IRD1) as the prime candidates responsible for these clinical features. However, TFII-I proteins are multifunctional...
