Mutations in <i>Bcl9</i> and <i>Pygo</i> genes cause congenital heart defects by tissue-specific perturbation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling

2018-01-17

Abstract excerpt

Genetic alterations in human BCL9 genes have repeatedly been found in congenital heart disease (CHD) with as-of-yet unclear causality. BCL9 proteins and their Pygopus (Pygo) co-factors can participate in canonical Wnt signaling via binding to β-catenin. Nonetheless, their contributions to vertebrate heart development remain uncharted. Here, combining zebrafish and mouse genetics, we document tissue-specific funct...
