    Mouse embryonic anterior nerve fold


    Hyposchisis forebrain (HPE) affects 1 to 4 out of every 1,000 unborn babies


    The exact cause of HPE is not yet fully understood


    Disease genes restore SHH pathway

    For a long time, researchers have believed that there are some genes that will have a positive effect on this deformity, or even prevent it completely


    But this result is partly due to chance


    High-throughput sequencing RNA analysis

    In order to do this, Mecklenburg first bred different mouse strains and examined the animal's disease characteristics, signal pathways and genetic makeup


    The researchers conducted further studies and found that in the white LRP2 mutant and the wild type of the strain, certain genes, including ULK4 and PTTG1, were significantly up-regulated compared with black 6 mice


    Decoding—maybe even preventing—genetic diseases

    Hammes said: "We have identified these candidate genes that modulate the SHH pathway in mice.
