GLI3 repressor controls nephron number via regulation of Wnt11 and Ret in ureteric tip cells.

Truncating GLI3 mutations in Pallister-Hall Syndrome with renal malformation suggests a requirement for Hedgehog signaling during renal development. HH-dependent signaling increases levels of GLI transcriptional activators and decreases processing of GLI3 to a shorter transcriptional repressor. Prev...
