Excerpt

CHARGE and DiGeorge syndromes are conditions with incidences of 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 4000 and are strongly associated with haploinsufficiency of specific genes (CHD7 and TBX1). Both conditions are characterised by cardiovascular defects. Knockout mouse models are an important tool for the identification and characterisation of genes implicated in congenital heart conditions. Micro-MRI is an emerging technique for high resolution cardiac phenotyping in a reduced time compared to conventional histology, enabling the acquisition of 3D images of multiple embryos in a single scan[1]. …
