ALX1‐related frontonasal dysplasia results from defective neural crest cell development and migration by Jonathan Pini, Janina Kueper, Yiyuan David Hu, Kenta Kawasaki, Pan Yeung, Casey Tsimbal, Baul Yoon, Nikkola Carmichael, Richard L Maas, Justin Cotney, Yevgenya Grinblat, Eric C Liao

“…NCC derived from ALX1L165F/L165F iPSC were more sensitive to apoptosis, showed an elevated expression of several neural crest progenitor state markers, and exhibited impaired migration compared to wild‐type controls. NCC migration was evaluated in vivo using lineage tracing in a zebrafish model, which revealed defective migration of the anterior NCC stream that contributes to the median portion of the anterior neurocranium, phenocopying the clinical presentation. …”
