 | | Barnes and his colleagues (1996b) found that when valproic acid was applied to the early chick embryo, these embryos developed fused somites or disorganized somite patterning. | | | Both the valproic-acid treated rat offspring and the undulated mouse mutant are characterized by skeletal malformations such as "wavy" or fused ribs, missing or split vertebrae, and kinky tails (Vorhees, 1987). | | | Wholemount in situ hybridizations demonstrated that the somite anomalies correlated with the specific downregulation of Pax-1 mRNA in the regions affected by the drug (Figure 1). |
