N normal phenotype
skeleton
• rib attachements offset side to side in varying degrees in 2 of 72 mice
• C7 ribs fully formed in 5 of 72 mice
• dorsal part of C7 rib often fused to first thoracic rib but separates ventrally
• C7 rib transformations usually asymetric
• rarely heads on cervical ribs
• T1 with prominent processus spinosus (T2 characteristic) when C7 rib development is strong
• rare instances when T1 has a processus spinosus but T2 does not
• C7 normal with the exception of rib development

N normal phenotype
skeleton
• sternebra are poorly formed or missing
• reduced or absent
• rib projections extend from T2 through T6 with ribs from T2 through T4 exhibiting the same angle as T1 ribs
• mice are missing a complete first rib
• from T2 to T4
• mice exhibit anterior homeotic transformation from C6 to T6
• however, posterior thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae are normal in appearance and position
• T2 does not form a rib
• anterior projections do not begin until T4 and continue through T6 unlike in wild-type mice
• C7 exhibit a vertebral foramina unlike in wild-type mice
