Q

What is the function of the sonic hedgehog (SHH) gene?

A

Anterior-posterior axis patterning, CNS development

  • SHH protein establishes L and R brain and midline and formation of forebrain
  • Also influences limb development in the anterior to posterior plane (ant=thumb, post=pinky)

Q

What is the function of the Wnt-7 gene?

A
  • Dorsal-ventral axis patterning, limb development (flexors/extensors)
  • Wn7a is key for dorsal development, activates LMX-1 gene and ‘dorsalises’ one side of the mesoderm to give for example the back of the hand
  • Repression of Wnt-7 gives rise to ventral side
