Editorial Mouse Models of Congenital Heart Defects
One of the puzzling things about genetic disruptions in mice that affect heart development is the overwhelming number of conotruncal anomalies and the infrequency with which certain other malformations are reported. For instance, venous malformations such as total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) or partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) have not been reported in a mutant mo...

متن کاملGlycomic analyses of mouse models of congenital muscular dystrophy.
Dystroglycanopathies are a subset of congenital muscular dystrophies wherein α-dystroglycan (α-DG) is hypoglycosylated. α-DG is an extensively O-glycosylated extracellular matrix-binding protein and a key component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex. Previous studies have shown α-DG to be post-translationally modified by both O-GalNAc- and O-mannose-initiated glycan structures. Mutations in...
