embryo
• monocilia in the nodes of E7.5 embryos are rigid and immotile
|
• exhibit randomization of laterality
• 12 of 31 show complete reversal of positioning of the lungs, heart, stomach, liver, and spleen
• 2 homozygotes show heterotaxia, a discordant positioning of individual organs within the same animal, with the heart and liver normal, but the stomach and spleen reversed
