Hammerhead ribozyme-mediated silencing of the mutant fibrillin-1 of tight skin mouse: insight into the functional role of mutant fibrillin-1.
The tight skin (Tsk/+) mouse is a model for fibrotic disorders. The genetic defect in the Tsk/+ is an in-frame duplication between exons 17 and 40 of the fibrillin-1 gene which gives rise to a large transcript and protein. Mice homozygous for the mutation die in utero, whereas heterozygotes survive...
