Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in the highly conserved Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) gene is one of the most common genetic causes for the malformations of the brain and face in humans described as the holoprosencephaly clinical spectrum. However, only a minor fraction of known SHH variants have been experimentally proven to lead to abnormal function. Employing a phenotypic rescue assay with synthetic human messenger RNA variant...
