New member of the winged-helix protein family disrupted in mouse and rat nude mutations.

Nature - 3 Nov 1994

Nehls M, Pfeifer D, Schorpp M, Hedrich H, Boehm T

Abstract excerpt

Mutations at the nude locus of mice and rats disrupt normal hair growth and thymus development, causing nude mice and rats to be immune-deficient. The mouse nude locus has been localized on chromosome 11 (refs 3, 4) within a region of < 1 megabase. Here we show that one of the genes from this critical region, designated whn, encodes a new member of the winged-helix domain family of transcription factors, and that...
