Mouse modeling of haploinsufficiency syndromes and, in general, of syndromes caused by gene dosage imbalance, is often unsatisfactory because loss (or gain) of one copy of the gene of interest is insufficient to recapitulate the disease phenotype. In this study, we use Tbx1 mutants, which model one of the most common haploinsufficiency disorders, the 22q11.2DS/DiGeorge/Velocardiofacial syndrome, to test the feasibility of high resolution dosage manipulation to generate mouse models that more clo ...[more]
