| Open AccessPrevention of Treacher Collins syndrome craniofacial anomalies in mouse models via maternal antioxidant supplementation
The TCOF1 gene is mutated in Treacher Collin's syndrome, a congenital craniofacial syndrome. Here, the authors show that Tcof1loss-of-function results in oxidative stress induced DNA damage and neuroepithelial cell death, and addition of antioxidants to pregnant mutant mice protected against these defects.
