GATA2 and scoliosis: To investigate the possibility of AIS-mimicking scoliosis in Tg(GATA2-1b:lbx1b) during the period corresponding to human adolescence (Fig 8F), we kept transgenic larvae that had a displaced dorsal melanophore stripe without an apparent notochord deformity (n = 45), together with their wild-type siblings (n = 60).
