Abstract
Gene targeting in mouse embryo-derived stem cells has been used to generate mice with a disruption in the homeobox geneHox–1.6. Mice heterozygous at theHox-#150;1.6 locus appear normal, whereas Hox–1.6-/Hox–1.6- mice die at or shortly after birth. These homozygotes exhibit profound defects in the formation of the external, middle and inner ears as well as in specific hindbrain nuclei, and in cranial nerves and ganglia. The affected tissues lie within a narrow region along the anteroposterior axis of the mouse but are of diverse embryonic origin. The set of defects associated with the disruption of Hox-1.6 is distinct from and nonoverlapping with that of the closely linkedHox-1.5 gene. But both mutations cause loss, rather than homeotic transformation, of tissues and structures.
