Funded Activity Summary

Little is known about the mechanisms that control limb development. We have discovered a new gene which is active in the developing limb of the embryo. This study will provide information on how this new gene controls the development of the limb. Limb defects occur in 1 in 1,000 new-born babies. We believe the absence of our newly discovered gene may be responsible for some of these limb defects. Ultimately, this fundamental knowledge may lead to improved pre-natal diagnosis and better treament for limb abnormalities.
