The BMP ligand Gdf6a Regulates Development of the Zebrafish Craniofacial Skeleton in a Pharyngeal Arch-Specific Manner

Sabrina C. Fox, Sarah M. Hay, Andrew Jan Waskiewicz, Jennifer C. Hocking

This study identifies Gdf6a's role in zebrafish craniofacial skeleton development, showing it regulates midline structures via canonical BMP signaling in a pharyngeal arch-specific manner.

The Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome gene FOXC1 contributes to left-right patterning

Paul W. Chrystal, Curtis R. French, Francesca Jean, Serhiy Havrylov, Suey van Baarle, Ann-Marie Peturson, Pengfei Xu, Justin Gage Crump, David B. Pilgrim, Ordan J. Lehmann, Andrew Jan Waskiewicz

This paper shows that FOXC1 mutations in zebrafish cause left-right axis defects and congenital heart defects, similar to human Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome.
