Gene leads to malformation of the urinary tract

A gene that is associated with a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary tract called classic bladder exstrophy has been discovered by a team of researchers. It increases the likelihood that the urinary tract will not form properly during embryonic development. The finding is an important step for understanding the development of urinary tract malformations in general and for developing prophylactic measures.
