Abstract excerpt
Catel-Manzke syndrome (CMS) is a rare genetic disorder associated with mutations in the TDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (TGDS) gene, the function of which in vertebrates remains unclear. This study investigated the zebrafish ortholog tgds to assess its suitability for modeling the disease. During development, the tgds transcript exhibits a conserved biphasic expression pattern with an initial maternal contribution...
