    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • No turning (nt), a recessive lethal mutation causing left-right and axial patterning defects is likely elicited by Rttn deficiency
  • uniformly lethal outcome of complete loss of Rttn in mice suggests that even the truncating mutation might have retained some function and that a truly null mutation might lead to early embryonic lethality in humans
