DLX4 and hydrops fetalis: One spatiotemporal lincRNA, linc-chig1598, displayed positively correlated expression with its neighbour genes, DLX3 and DLX4. Due to the central role of DLX3 in HF morphogenesis, formation, differentiation and cycling programs [43, 59], linc-chig1598 may have a regulatory role in the expression of DLX3/DLX4 loci during the growth of SHFs in goat.
