Armc5 deletion causes developmental defects and compromises T-cell immune responses
Mutations in ARMC5 are associated with risk of primary macronodular adrenal gland hyperplasia. Here the authors show that mice lacking Armc5 have adrenal gland hyperplasia and defective T-cell proliferation, differentiation, survival andin vivoT-cell ...
