Failure to synthesize this protein disrupts development in numerous ways, from the first trimester onwards, and gives rise through processes that are not well understood to the raft of symptoms associated with the syndrome.
The IGF-1R is essential for proliferation in TEBs (terminal end buds) during puberty, while overexpression disrupts development and can lead to tumorigenesis [ 29].
Together, these data solidly support the hypothesis that diminished 22q11 gene dosage disrupts development of CN V and, perhaps, CN VII as well, via increased expression and/or anterior expansion of RA-regulated genes that distinguish anterior versus posterior rhombomeres.
Current studies provide strong evidence that neurodegeneration at substantial scale is the mechanism by which ethanol disrupts brain development in the rodent and, similarly, ethanol exposure disrupts development of the human fetal brain.
In spite of the fundamental role of POLR3 in cellular functions, the zebrafish polr3b slimjim mutation, which affects the second largest subunit of Polr3, selectively disrupts development of exocrine pancreas and intestine with impaired transcription of tRNA genes (Yee et al., 2005; Yee et al., 2007; Yee, 2010).

For example, viruses are ordinarily used to ferry in genes to activate pluripotency, but this foreign DNA integrates into the genome, and experts worry that it might disrupt development or cause cancer.
Any of these components might interfere with endogenous sterol-mediated signalling systems, and so disrupt development [30].
This decrease could account for poor circuit refinement [48] and as a consequence, for the disrupted development of orientation selectivity shown in Ethanol treated animals [9].
