Table 4. Full-length Pitx2cL41A is able to randomize heart looping when overexpressed on the right side of HH stage 4 chick embryos.
Injected Retrovirus (on right side) | % Abnormal (Leftward) Heart Looping |
---|---|
RCAS (empty vector) | 8% (n= 3/40) |
Wild type Pitx2c | 33% (n=19/58) χ2 = 8.68 (p<0.005) |
Pitx2cL41A | 25% (n=15/59) χ2 vs. RCAS = 5.15 (p<0.05) χ2 vs. WT = 0.76 (N.S.) |
