Here, we show thatShh‐Cre‐mediated deletion ofWntless, the Wnt cargo protein, in mouse posterior limb mesenchyme causes bone syndactyly of the 3rd and 4th digits, resembling the human Malik–Percin type. TheShhdescendants gradiently distributed from digit 5 to posterior half of digit 3 in wild‐type limbs, however, they abnormally increased in posterior digit 3 inWntlessShh‐Cre.WntlessShh‐Crelimbs displayed altered expression of hedgehog pathway genes and impaired noncanonical Wnt signaling activity. We further showed that the anterior limb mesenchymal cells in theWlsShh‐Creserved as a source of Wnt5a to reorientate the adjacentWls‐lackingShhlineage cells to move anteriorly and subsequently led to syndactyly, suggesting that aberrant mesenchymal cell movement/condensation may underlie the pathogenesis of syndactyly.
