Abnormal skeletal and cardiac development, cardiomyopathy, muscle atrophy and cataracts in mice with a targeted disruption of the () gene-6

Mall white colouration in the wild type eye is an artefact due to reflected light. C-F: Haematoxylin and Eosin stained sections of wild type (C,E) and -/- (D,F) adult eyes showing degeneration of the mutant lens, with vacuolation and loss of surface epithelium. Scale bars in E,F = 5 μm; C,D = 15 μm.<b>Copyright information:</b>Taken from "Abnormal skeletal and cardiac development, cardiomyopathy, muscle atrophy and cataracts in mice with a targeted disruption of the () gene"http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-213X/8/18BMC Developmental Biology 2008;8():18-18.Published online 20 Feb 2008PMCID:PMC2275724.
