Tbx1 controls the morphogenesis of pharyngeal pouch epithelia through mesodermal Wnt11r and Fgf8a.

In this publication, Choe et al use the zebrafish to show how the DiGeorge Syndrome gene Tbx1 coordinates development of the face. In particular, they show that Tbx1 is required to produce two important cell-cell communication proteins, Wnt11r and Fgf8a
