Abstract excerpt
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common structural anomaly of the human forebrain. Various genetic and teratogenic causes have been implicated in its pathogenesis. A recent report in mice described Noggin (NOG) as a candidate gene involved in the etiogenesis of microform HPE. Here, we present for the first time genetic analysis of a large HPE cohort for sequence variations in NOG. On the basis of our study, we...
