Abstract excerpt
OVCA1/DPH1 (OVCA1) encodes a component of the diphthamide biosynthesis pathway and is located on chromosome 17p13.3. Deletions in this region are associated with Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS). Ovca1/Dph1 (Ovca1)-null mice exhibit multiple developmental defects, including cleft palate, growth restriction and perinatal lethality, suggesting a role in the craniofacial abnormalities associated with MDS. Conditional...
