Abstract excerpt
Cfap298 is a highly conserved gene required for ciliary motility and dynein arm assembly, with known roles in left-right (LR) patterning in zebrafish and links to human ciliopathies. Here, we describe a Cfap298 mutant allele, Cfap298ΔΔS, which selectively disrupts LR axis establishment in mice. Mutant embryos display organ laterality defects and abnormal Nodal, Pitx2 and Lefty1 expression, consistent with an...
