Gene-knockout mice with abnormal epidermal and hair follicular development

K Yamanishi. J Dermatol Sci. 1998 Nov.

Abstract

In the past 8 years, analysis of mutant mice and development of gene-knockout mice have provided important new avenues to identify disease genes and to study gene functions in the skin. Targeted disruption of genes in mice is a powerful means to investigate the contribution of a particular gene defect to a given phenotype and to generate murine models of hereditary skin disorders with epidermal and hair follicular abnormalities. This review summarizes recent studies of knockout mouse models with abnormalities in epidermal and/or hair follicular development.
