    No full text
    Phenotypic resemblance does exist between normal and abnormal spiralization of great arteries in vertebrates and the spiral patterns of snail shells. The conserved Nodal gene is involved in the morphogenetic mechanism of these spiralizations in the great arteries of vertebrates and snail shells. These observationswiden the phylogenetic development horizon in humans20,21 and allowus to look at the harmonic heart anatomy from a new evolutionary perspective. © 2011, Mosby, Inc.
