Rescue of mice homozygous for lethal albino deletions: implications for an animal model for the human liver disease tyrosinemia type 1.

Abstract excerpt

Mice homozygous for specific deletions around the albino locus on chromosome 7 die within the first few hours of birth. They have a complex phenotype in liver and kidney, which includes multiple changes in gene expression and ultrastructural abnormalities. On the basis of this phenotype, it was proposed that these deletions remove a regulatory locus, alf or hsdr-1. Recently, we and others showed that the gene for...
