Authors state that "Plzf 7t lacks the germ cell depletion phenotypes of all previously reported Plzf alleles." Unfortunately, they have probably not noticed that a similar separation-of-function allele of Plzf has already been reported in polydactulous rat in March 2009 issue of Developmental Dynamics by Liska et al.
