Abstract excerpt
Using gene targeting in mice, we have undertaken a systematic mutational analysis of the homeobox-containing 5' HoxD genes. In particular, we have characterized the limb defects observed in mice with independent targeted disruptions of hoxd-12 and hoxd-13. Animals defective for hoxd-12 are viable, fertile, and appear outwardly normal yet have minor autopodal defects in the forelimb which include a reduction in...
