Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The genes encoding fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 8 and 10 are expressed in the anterior part of the second heart field that constitutes a population of cardiac progenitor cells contributing to the arterial pole of the heart. Previous studies of hypomorphic and conditional Fgf8 mutants show disrupted outflow tract (OFT) and right ventricle (RV) development, whereas Fgf10 mutants do not have detectable...
