“…The growth-morphogen model predicts that an increase in posterior Shh expression, resulting in an increase in the range of Shh signalling across the limb, would lead to an increased proliferation in the posterior of the limb and, therefore, an increase in the area of the limb specified to form digits in the Slk leg. Zhu et al (2008) also predict that an increased range of Shh signalling would result in extra anterior digit ''1''s, which we observe occasionally in Slk embryos (e.g., 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, Fig. 1C, D).…”
