(A and D) Shh positive placodes are decreased in Wls-deficient skin compared with the control. (B and E) Bmp4 expressing dermal condensates are reduced in K14-cre;Wlsc/c mutants. (C and F) Lef1 positive placodes decrease significantly in Wls-deficient skin. (G) Statistical analysis of the Shh, Bmp4 and Lef1 positive spots in embryo skin. **, P<0.01; *, P<0.05. cKO, K14-cre;Wlsc/c.
