reproductive system
• male mice do not breed
• however, no gross abnormalities in urogenital apparatus are observed
|
limbs/digits/tail
• the split observed in d4 during condensation is more pronounced than in Evx2tm1Ddu homozygotes
• supernumerary d5 and d5* bones fuse to the basis of metacarpal V
|
• the second phalanges of digit V and II are missing and metacarpal V is reduced and broader
• the bony elements of digit II or III are fused and produces continuous, rigid bone rods
• an extra, non-segmented bone (digit VI) appears post-axially in 80% of mice
|
• the second phalanges of digit V and II are missing
|
polydactyly
(
J:37211
)
• an extra, non-segmented bone (digitVI) appears post-axially in 80% of mice
|
• metacarpal V is reduced and broader
• supernumerary d5 and d5* bones fuse to the basis of metacarpal V
• metacarpus I of the hindlimb is more severely reduced than in Evx2tm1Ddu homozygotes
|
short limbs

growth/size/body
• mice weigh 30% less than wild-type mice at birth
|
skeleton
