Abstract

Oligogenic inheritance makes the etiology of developmental diseases challenging to determine. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Kong et al., 2020 identify members of a membrane-tethered ubiquitin complex that attenuates Hedgehog signaling strength and genetically interact to regulate digit number, body patterning, and cardiac development.
