abstractText | We have created an insertional mutation that leads to a severe defect in the pattern of limb formation in the developing mouse. The novel recessive mutation is phenotypically identical and non-complementary to two previously encountered limb deformity mutations, and is closely linked to a dominant mutation that gives rise to a related limb dysmorphism. The inserted element thus provides a molecular genetic link with the control of pattern formation in the mammalian embryo. |
