T-box transcription factor, TBX1, is the major candidate gene for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DiGeorge/ Velo-cardio-facial syndrome) characterized by facial defects, thymus hypoplasia, cardiovascular anomalies and cleft palates. Here, we report that the loss of Tbx1 in mouse (Tbx1(-/-)) results in skeletal abnormalities similar to those of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) in humans, which is an autosomal-dominant...
