Abstract excerpt
Dextral looping of the heart is regulated on multiple levels. In humans, mutations of the genes CFC and Pitx2/RIEG result in laterality-associated cardiac anomalies. In animal models, a common read-out after the misexpression of laterality genes is heart looping direction. Missing in these studies is how laterality genes impact on downstream morphogenetic processes to coordinate heart looping. Previously, we...
