A girl with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is holding a mouse, reflecting the significant biological relationship between the two species whereby mice can serve as a model system to study human disease. Mice that are homozygous for a null allele of the fibroblast growth factor receptor-like 1 (Fgfrl1) gene recapitulate multiple aspects of WHS, including skeletal malformations and cardiac valve defects.
