Figure Conservation of MEIS1 p.R272H and segregation within pedigree (A) Protein homologues were aligned using ClustalW; p.R272H position is highlighted in black, nonconserved amino acid positions are highlighted in gray. (B) Males are represented by squares, females by circles, diamonds with a number represent the number of additional sibs. A diagonal line indicates deceased subjects, filled symbols indicate affected individuals. p.R272H mutation carriers are indicated with mt beneath the symbol, noncarriers with wt.
