Abstract excerpt
MSX2 is a homeodomain transcription factor that has been implicated in craniofacial morphogenesis on the basis of its expression pattern during mouse development and the finding of a missense mutation (P148H) in humans affected with Boston-type craniosynostosis. We have generated transgenic mice carrying a 34 kb DNA fragment encompassing a human MSX2 gene encoding either wild-type or mutant (P148H) MSX2....
