Correlation of forelimb malformation asymmetries with visceral organ situs in the transgenic mouse insertional mutation, legless.

Abstract excerpt

We studied the relationship between the sidedness of visceral organs and the expression of limb abnormalities in the legless mutant. The control of asymmetry in visceral development appears to be random in the legless mutant; that is, 50% develop normally (situs solitus) and 50% develop with inverted viscera (situs inversus). We find that the sidedness of forelimb abnormalities expressed in the mutants is highly...
