ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • sensory ataxia and muscle spindle (encapsulated muscle fibers conservated by specialized motor and sensory axons) agenesis,suggesting that type I myotubes are dependent upon Egr3 mediated transcription for proper spindle development
  • germline Egr3-deficient mice have physiologic dysautonomia characterized by apoptotic sympathetic neuron death and abnormal innervation to many target tissues
