Bioelectric signalling via potassium channels: a mechanism for craniofacial dysmorphogenesis in KCNJ2‐associated Andersen–Tawil Syndrome
10 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: Xenopus laevis craniofacial development is a good system for the study of Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS)-associated craniofacial anomalies (CFAs) because (1) Kcnj2 is expressed in the nascent face; (2) molecular-genetic and biophysical techniques are available for the study of ion-dependent signalling during craniofacial morphogenesis; (3) as in humans, expression of variant Kcnj2 forms in embryos...
