Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Twist2 is a member of a family of bHLH transcription factors critical for normal mesenchymal proliferation and differentiation. In this study, the authors analyzed the role of Twist2 in the eye and cornea through examination of a Twist2 loss-of-function mouse mutant. METHODS: Twist2 expression during eye development in the mouse was investigated using RT-PCR and mRNA slide in situ hybridization. Lineage...
