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.)
