WNT/β-catenin signalling WNT/calcium signalling
Wnt signalling pathwayWnt signalling pathway
A nonsense mutation in Wnt3 causes tetra-amelia---- the loss of all four limbs.
Mutations in Wnt3 are linked to tetra-ameliaMutations in Wnt3 are linked to tetra-amelia
sFRP3 and osteoarthritissFRP3 and osteoarthritis
A SNP is associated with osteoarthritis in females.
This SNP is found in secreted Frizzled-related protein 3 (sFRP3) and reduces the ability of sFRP3 to antagonize Wnt signalling
Wnt signalling might be elevated in osteoarthritis
Chromosomal duplication of Wnt4 and an iChromosomal duplication of Wnt4 and an intersex phenotypentersex phenotype
Wnt4 overexpressionWnt4 overexpression disrupts normal testicular vasculature inhibits testosterone synthesis by repressing steroidogenic factor 1 / β-catenin synergy.
Wnt4 acts as an anti-male factor by interfering Wnt4 acts as an anti-male factor by interfering with with ββ-catenin functions.-catenin functions.
Wnt4 and renal development and diseaseWnt4 and renal development and disease
WNnt4 is a key role in renal tubule formationrenal tubule formation.
A rat model of acute renal failure Wnt4 overexpression
After renal injury CNP (C-type natriuretic peptide) gene expression is activated and correlates with Wnt4 expression.
WNT/β-catenin signalling is involved in polycystic kidney disease (PKD)polycystic kidney disease (PKD)
PKD1 gene mutation
Wnt4 overexpression has been reported in polycystic kidneys in mice.
Wnt5a - a tumor suppressor gene and a Wnt5a - a tumor suppressor gene and a modulator of metastasismodulator of metastasis
Loss of Wnt5a in mammary epithelial cells

blocked by overexpression of Wnt5a
Wnt5a signals through Wnt/calcium pathway
suppress cyclin D1 expression
negatively regulate B cell proliferation.
Wnt5a, through its activation of PKC
a highly motile and invasive phenotype.
Wnt1 and the neurodevelopmental hypothWnt1 and the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophreniaesis of schizophrenia
Wnt1 overexpression → altered cell adhesion, synaptic rearrangement and plasticity in the brains of people with schizophrenia.
SNPs in FZ3 are associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia.
Dsh1/Dvl1 -/- mice produces behavioural defects, further linking the Wnt pathway to the modulation of brain activity.
Altered function of Frizzled and LRP5/6Altered function of Frizzled and LRP5/6
