摘要： In this study, we demonstrated that lrp6a, a co-receptor in the Wnt signaling pathway, is essential for proper median fin formation and somitogenesis in goldfish. We analyzed the gene's sequence features and expression patterns in both wen-type and egg-type goldfish, uncovering distinct tissue-specific expression differences between the two varieties. To explore the functional role of lrp6a, we performed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockout using eight designed single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs), of which four showed effective targeting. Three high-efficiency sgRNAs were selected and co-injected into embryos to achieve complete gene disruption. Morphological assessments and X-ray microtomography (mu CT) imaging of the resulting mutants revealed various abnormalities, including defects in the dorsal, caudal, and anal fins, as well as skeletal deformities near the caudal peduncle. These results confirm that lrp6a plays a key role in median fin development and axial patterning, offering new insights into the genetic regulation of fin formation in teleost fish.
