Compensatory gene expression potentially rescues impaired brain development in Kit mutant mice.

Abstract excerpt

While loss-of-function mutations in the murine dominant white spotting/Kit (W) locus affect a diverse array of cell lineages and organs, the brain, organ with the highest expression show the least number of defective phenotypes. We performed transcriptome analysis of the brains of KitW embryos and found prominent gene expression changes specifically in the E12.5 KitW/W homozygous mutant. Although other...
