  • Premature SHH signalling resulting from disruption of GPR161 causes defects in limb and skeletal morphogenesis, cerebellar granule cell hyperproliferation and formation of SHH-subtype medulloblastoma.

    “The importance of HH pathway repression is illustrated by the finding that premature SHH signalling resulting from disruption of GPR161 causes defects in limb and skeletal morphogenesis 134, cerebellar granule cell hyper-proliferation and formation of SHH-subtype medulloblastoma 135.”

    From Cellular signalling by primary cilia in development, organ function and disease (2019) · cites this paper as [135]

    The Results section on GPR161 in neural progenitor cells (page unavailable) reports that GPR161 loss increases Hedgehog signalling and alters neural progenitor specification. The Introduction mentions limb-bud patterning by Hedgehog ligands, but our copy does not link GPR161 disruption to limb or skeletal defects. The cerebellar proliferation and medulloblastoma findings carry a separate citation (135), so they are not attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
