gerne symbol wts; gene: CG12072). Drosophila melanogaster warts has also been termed LATS [large tumor suppressor]. Mutations in this gene cause dramatic overproliferation phenotypes and various developmental defects in both mosaic animals and homozygous mutants (Xu et al, 1995). Homozygous clones that arise in heterozygous flies in the imaginal disc cells lead to epithelial tumors that are easily visible as massive wart-like outgrowths on the cuticle of adult flies. (Justice et al, 1995). Expression of the human homolog in homozygous warts mutants rescues lethality of all warts alleles, demonstrating that the human LATS1 -
