FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	embryos completely lacking functional Wnt9b fail to form kidneys, resulting in death on postnatal day 1 (Wnt9b was required for proper establishment and/or maintenance of tubule diameter) (Karner 2009)
	Wnt9b(-/-) mice show significantly retarded outgrowth of the nasal and maxillary processes due to reduced proliferation of mesenchymal cells
