 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Duplication of the Hoxd11 gene causes alterations in the axial and appendicular skeleton of the mouse. | The Hox genes encode a group of transcription factors essential for proper development of the mouse. Targeted mutation of the Hoxd11 gene causes reduced male fertility, vertebral transformation, carpal bone fusions, and reductions in digit length. A duplication of the Hoxd11 gene was created with th... | Animals; Bone Development; Forelimb; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental | 2002-09-01 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Hox genes and mammalian development | We have examined the interactions of Hox genes in forming a cervical vertebrae, hindbrain, and limbs. In each case, it is apparent that individual Hox genes are performing individual functions but that more profound roles are apparent when they act in combination with others Hox genes. The observed ... | Drosophila; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Homozygote | 1997 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Paralogous mouse Hox genes, Hoxa9, Hoxb9, and Hoxd9, function together to control development of the mammary gland in response to pregnancy. | Although the role of Hox genes in patterning the mammalian body plan has been studied extensively during embryonic and fetal development, relatively little is known concerning Hox gene function in adult animals. Analysis of mice with mutant Hoxa9, Hoxb9, and Hoxd9 genes shows that these paralogous g... | Embryonic and Fetal Development; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Genotype; Mice, Knockout | 1999-01 |

 | Capecchi, Mario R. | Hox10 and Hox11 genes are required to globally pattern the mammalian skeleton. | Mice in which all members of the Hox10 or Hox11 paralogous group are disrupted provide evidence that these Hox genes are involved in global patterning of the axial and appendicular skeleton. In the absence of Hox10 function, no lumbar vertebrae are formed. Instead, ribs project from all posterior ve... | Alleles; Animals; Forelimb; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Hindlimb | 2003-07-18 |

 | Moon, Ann M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Roles of Fgf4 and Fgf8 in limb bud initiation and outgrowth. | Although numerous molecules required for limb bud formation have recently been identified, the molecular pathways that initiate this process and ensure that limb formation occurs at specific axial positions have yet to be fully elucidated. Based on experiments in the chick, Fgf8 expression in the in... | Animals; Apoptosis; Forelimb; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; High Mobility Group Proteins; Hindlimb; In Situ Hybridization; Mesoderm; Mice, Mutant Strains; Trans-Activators | 2004-09 |
