Abstract excerpt
Otx1 and Otx2 genes are mouse cognates of a Drosophila head gap gene orthodenticle. The homozygous mutants have previously indicated that Otx2 is essential to development of structures anterior to rhombomere 3, probably reflecting its expression around the early primitive streak stage. Otx2 mutation also exhibits craniofacial defects by haplo-insufficiency. Affected structures correspond to the most anterior and...
