Gooseberry (gsb) is a segment polarity gene located on chromosome 2 of the Drosophila (fruit fly) genome. Gooseberry is known for its interactions with key embryonic signaling pathways Wingless and Hedgehog.[2][3] The gene also has clinical significance, being linked to diseases such as Waardenburg Syndrome and rhabdomyosarcoma.[4][5][6][7]
