High impact information on msx2
- A surprising finding was the statistically significant difference in phenotypic changes (p < 0.001 when compared to a buffer-injected group) of embryos microinjected with the mRNA of a mutated form of the msx2 gene (without the homeobox region) [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of msx2
- It is proposed that the msx2 overexpression system can be used as a consistent and reliable bioassay to map and study the functions of the msx2 gene during development, especially of the craniofacial region [1].
