Abstract excerpt
Wnt signaling plays important roles during vertebrate development, including left-right axis specification as well as heart and kidney organogenesis. We identified a homozygous human WNT11 variant in an infant with situs inversus totalis, complex heart defects and renal hypodysplasia, and used Xenopus embryos to functionally characterize this variant. WNT11c.814delG encodes a protein with reduced stability that...
