Abstract excerpt
Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting limb and craniofacial development. Recently, the human GLI3 gene has been proposed to be a candidate gene for GCPS. Here we describe the molecular characterization of extra-toes (Xt), which is a mouse model of GCPS. The Xt heterozygotes show craniofacial defects and a polydactyly phenotype similar to GCPS. We show that a...
