BACKGROUND: The AEBP1 (adipocyte enhancer binding protein) gene has two isoforms: AEBP1, the shorter of the two isoforms, and Aclp (aortic carboxypeptidase-like protein). Aclp(-/-) mice demonstrate a ventral wall defect that is similar to gastroschisis in humans. Aclp is a potential candidate gene because it is expressed in numerous tissues during early development in mice; it associates with the extracellular...
