Abstract excerpt
Polydactyly is a common malformation of vertebrate limbs. Preaxial polydactyly (PPD) has been mapped in human, mouse and chicken to the syntenic region of human 7q36. Lmbr1 was thought as the critical candidate gene for human and mouse PPD. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying chicken polydactyly, we have cloned the open reading frame (ORF) of chicken Lmbr1, which contains 1467 nucleotides. Within...
