Abstract excerpt
The severity of numerous developmental abnormalities can vary widely despite shared genetic causes. Mice deficient in Twisted gastrulation (Twsg1(-/-)) display such phenotypic variation, developing a wide range of craniofacial malformations on an isogenic C57BL/6 strain background. To examine the molecular basis for this reduced penetrance and variable expressivity, we used exon microarrays to analyze gene...
