Hnf1b and Pax2 cooperate to control different pathways in kidney and ureter morphogenesis
17 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factors HNF1B and Pax2, co-expressed in the Wolffian duct and ureteric bud epithelia, play essential roles during the early steps of mouse kidney development. In humans, heterozygous mutations in these genes display a number of common kidney phenotypes, including hypoplasia and multicystic hypoplastic kidneys. Moreover, a high prevalence of mutations either in HNF1B or PAX2 has been observed in...
