Maternal Effects on Embryonic and Placental Growth and the Penetrance of the Luxate Gene in Mice.
Abstract
dc:description.abstractPreaxial polydactyly is one of the most frequent limb anomalies in man, and sporadically occurs in poultry, pigeons, and in the hindlimbs of cats, dogs, mice and guinea pigs (Carter, 1954). Polydactyly is detectable by the stage of footplate morphogenesis, but it is inducible before hind-limb bud formation by irradiation of mouse embryos at 8 and 9 days of development (Russell, 1950). Russell's observations are significant because they suggest that polydactyly results from more than minor local disturbances of footplate morphogenesis.
