N normal phenotype
limbs/digits/tail
• mutants display variable AER disruption in the distal margin of the hindlimb consistent with a variable hindlimb phenotype
• at E10.5, the dorsoventral girth of the AER in the distal margin of the hindlimb is reduced to ~50%
• at E10.5, the dorsoventral girth of the forelimb AER is also reduced; however, the anterior/posterior length of the AER is generally unaffected
• 22 of 44 mutant mice exhibit mild to severe autopod defects
• mutant mice display normal forelimbs except in two cases (2/44) where digit 5 was absent or fused to digit 4
• mutant mice display hindlimb defects of variable penetrance and expressivity, ranging from completely normal to entirely absent hindlimbs
• 3 of 44 mutant mice show complete absence of hindlimbs
• 17 of 44 mutant mice show extensive truncations that extend into more proximal segments of the hindlimb

embryo
• mutants display extensive apoptosis throughout the hindlimb mesenchyme and adjacent ectoderm at the 35-42 somite stage; elevated apoptosis in the mesenchyme is more significant dorsally
• mutants display variable AER disruption in the distal margin of the hindlimb consistent with a variable hindlimb phenotype
• at E10.5, the dorsoventral girth of the AER in the distal margin of the hindlimb is reduced to ~50%
• at E10.5, the dorsoventral girth of the forelimb AER is also reduced; however, the anterior/posterior length of the AER is generally unaffected

limbs/digits/tail
• at E10.5, mutant mice exhibit a reduction in the anterior/posterior length of the AER
• mutant mice display variable forelimb defects ranging from three digits (anterior digits 1-3) and normal zeugopod (radius and ulna) to one digit (digit 2 or 3) and also zeugopod defects (missing ulna); in most cases, the humerus appears unaffected

embryo
• at E10.5, mutant mice exhibit a reduction in the anterior/posterior length of the AER
