Unique Alterations of an Ultraconserved Non-Coding Element in the 3′UTR of ZIC2 in Holoprosencephaly

Coding region alterations of ZIC2 are the second most common type of mutation in holoprosencephaly (HPE). Here we use several complementary bioinformatic approaches to identify ultraconserved cis-regulatory sequences potentially driving the expression of human ZIC2. We demonstrate that an 804 bp ele...
