Abstract excerpt
Jacobsen syndrome (11q-) is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by deletions in distal11q. Many of the most common and severe congenital heart defects that occur in the general population occur in 11q-. Previous studies have demonstrated that gene-targeted deletion in mice of ETS-1, a cardiac transcription factor in distal 11q, causes ventricular septal defects with 100% penetrance. It is unclear whether deletion...
