  1. PCP, planar cell polarity.
  2. Data from our study (3), with entries in bold being common to the study of Goyal et al. (1). Note that the two studies shared, in the whole, the preferential expression of 11 genes.
  3. aListed originally as “unknown” (3) and with a direction of change opposite to that given by Goyal et al. (1).
