description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Used to study Goldenhar syndrome. PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous for an autosomal dominant insertional mutation that disrupts this locus exhibit hemifacial microsomia, including microtia, low set ear and abnormal bite, probably due to hypoplasia of the second branchial arch. Homozygotes die during the prenatal period. [provided by MGI curators] |
