Abstract excerpt
The Msx1 transcription factor is involved in multiple epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during vertebrate embryogenesis. It has pleiotropic effects in several tissues. In humans, MSX1 variants have been related to tooth agenesis, orofacial clefting, and nail dysplasia. We correlate all MSX1 disease causing variants to phenotypic features to shed light on this hitherto unclear association. MSX1 truncations cause...
