Mesomelic dysplasias associated with the HOXD locus are caused by regulatory reallocations

Mesomelic dysplasia, a severe shortening and bending of the limb, has been linked to rearrangements in the HoxD cluster in humans and mice. Here the authors engineer a 1 Mb inversion including the HoxD gene cluster and use this model to provide a mechanistic framework to understand and unify the mol...
