Gen1 Modulates Metanephric Morphology Through Retinoic Acid Signaling
11 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in children. Our group has discovered that Holliday Junction resolvase gene Gen1 is a potential candidate gene for CAKUT. Gen1 mutant mice showed CAKUT phenotypes similar to those observed in retinoic acid (RA)-deficient models. The expression of Raldh2, which encodes the key enzyme in RA synthesis, was...
