Abstract excerpt
The mammalian Vangl1 and Vangl2 genes were discovered a decade ago through their association with neural tube defects, in particular the presence of Vangl2 mutations in independent alleles of the mouse mutant Loop-tail (Lp), a mouse model of the severe neural tube defect craniorachischisis. Vangl1 and Vangl2 variants have also been detected in familial and sporadic cases of spina bifida. Vangl proteins are highly...
