## Abstract Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common structural congenital forebrain malformation in humans and is associated with mental retardation and craniofacial abnormalities. In HPE, the cerebral hemispheres fail to separate into distinct right and left halves. The condition is etiological

The gene that encodes the human โฃ2 subunit of the inhibitory glycine receptor (GLRA2) is located on the X chromosome (Xp22.2) in a candidate region for a number of neurological disorders. Recently, an exclusion mapping strategy identified this region to be concordant in familial Rett syndrome (RTT)
**Summary** The causative mutation in a gene related to hearing loss in Dalmatians has been elusive. Because of its role in melanocyte migration and differentiation as integral component of the inner ear, we hypothesized that the canine __PAX3__ (paired box homeotic gene 3) gene could be a candidate
