Abstract excerpt
Patterning of the vertebrate limb along the anterior-posterior axis is controlled by the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) located at the posterior limb margin. One of the vertebrate Hh family members, Shh, has been shown to be able to mediate the function of the ZPA. Several naturally occurring mouse mutations with the phenotype of preaxial polydactyly exhibit ectopic Shh expression at the anterior limb margin....
