A novel tissue specific alternative splicing variant mitigates phenotypes in Ets2 frame-shift mutant models

Abstract E26 avian leukemia oncogene 2, 3′ domain (Ets2) has been implicated in various biological processes. An Ets2 mutant model (Ets2 db1/db1 ), which lacks the DNA-binding domain, was previously reported to exhibit embryonic lethality caused by a trophoblast abnormality. This phenotype could be...
