Multiple developmental programs are altered by loss of<i>Zic1</i>and<i>Zic4</i>to cause Dandy-Walker malformation cerebellar pathogenesis
10 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous deletions encompassing the ZIC1;ZIC4 locus have been identified in a subset of individuals with the common cerebellar birth defect Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM). Deletion of Zic1 and Zic4 in mice produces both cerebellar size and foliation defects similar to human DWM, confirming a requirement for these genes in cerebellar development and providing a model to delineate the developmental basis of...
