Abstract excerpt
Recent developments in reproductive biology have enabled the generation of genetically engineered pigs as models for inherited human diseases. Although a variety of such models for monogenic diseases are currently available, reproduction of human diseases caused by haploinsufficiency remains a major challenge. The present study compares the phenotypes of mouse and pig models of Marfan syndrome (MFS), with a...
