Moderate intergenerational and somatic instability of a 55-CTG repeat in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: To investigate the role of genomic sequences in instability, transgenic mice containing a 45-kb genomic segment with a 55-CTG repeat cloned from a mildly affected patient showed both intergenerational and somatic repeat instability.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human tissue plasminogen activator-Cre mouse: a new tool for targeting specifically neural crest cells and their derivatives in vivo.

TL;DR: This work has established a new transgenic line expressing the Cre recombinase under the control of the human tissue plasminogen activator promoter (Ht-PA), and represents a novel model to specifically target conditional mutations in migratory NCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of β1 integrins in enteric neural crest cells leads to a Hirschsprung-like phenotype

TL;DR: Organotypic cultures of gut explants reveal that β1-null enteric neural crest cells show impaired adhesion on extracellular matrix and enhanced intercellular adhesion properties, and display migration defects in collagen gels and gut tissue environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic Instability of the CTG Repeat in Mice Transgenic for the Myotonic Dystrophy Region is Age Dependent But Not Correlated to the Relative Intertissue Transcription Levels and Proliferative Capacities

TL;DR: There is a tendency for repeat length and somatic mosaicism to increase with the age of the mouse and the somatic mutation rates in different tissues were not correlated to the relative inter-tissue difference in transcriptional levels of the three genes surrounding the repeat.
