Abstract excerpt
Previous studies showed that conotruncal heart malformations can arise with the increase or decrease in alpha1 connexin function in neural crest cells. To elucidate the possible basis for the quantitative requirement for alpha1 connexin gap junctions in cardiac development, a neural crest outgrow...
