Abstract excerpt
Control of vertebrate digital pattern is a phylogenetically old mechanism. Animal strains with abnormal digital counts are a useful model system to study tissue, cell and molecular factors involved in limb patterning. The aim of this study was to investigate rat limb morphogenesis on gestation days 13 to 16 in normodactylous, polydactylous and oligodactylous fetuses where the deviation from the normal...
