Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine the role of Msx2 in craniofacial morphology and growth, we used a mouse model and performed a quantitative morphological characterization of the Msx2 (-/-) and the Msx2 (+/-) phenotype using a 2D cephalometric analysis applied on micrographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-four three-and-a-half-month-old female CD1 mice were divided into the following three groups: Msx2 (+/+) (n = 16), Msx2...
