Abstract excerpt
Several polydactylous mutants affect the pattern of asymmetry along the anteroposterior axis of the vertebrate limb. In talpid2, diplopodia1, and diplopodia4 chick limb mutants, there is a preaxial extension that results in broader limb buds. Talpid2 shows reduction of the long bones and 9-10 syndactylous digits, none of which are specifically recognizable as members of the normal digit complement. In diplopodia1...
