High impact information on cad

  • Developmental studies of several vertebrate species showed high levels of cad expression in tissues where mutant phenotypes were observed [1].
  • Positional cloning was used to identify a mutation in the carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase2-aspartate transcarbamylase-dihydroorotase (cad) gene as possibly causative of the perplexed mutation and this was confirmed by gene knockdown and pyrimidine rescue experiments [1].
