To provide further support for our hypothesis that disruption of qilin resulted in the body curvature and kidney cyst phenotype observed in hi3959A mutants, we designed morpholino oligo against the AUG translational start site of qilin. Wild type embryos injected with qilin morpholino displayed similar phenotypes to those observed in the hi3959A mutants, with ventrally curved bodies and kidney cysts (data not shown). This evidence concerns the gene IFT38 and Kidney Cyst.
