A genetic modifier links integrin α5 to the phenotypic variation in fibronectin 1a mutant zebrafish Author summary Recent studies have identified apparently healthy individuals with mutations that would be expected to lead to disease. Why these individuals are disease resistant is not understood. St... https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1011747
