N	normal phenotype

limbs/digits/tail

abnormal apical ectodermal ridge morphology ( J:81795 )

• mutants display variable AER disruption in the distal margin of the hindlimb consistent with a variable hindlimb phenotype

thin apical ectodermal ridge ( J:81795 )

• 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

abnormal autopod morphology ( J:81795 )

• 22 of 44 mutant mice exhibit mild to severe autopod defects

abnormal forelimb morphology ( J:81795 )

• mutant mice display normal forelimbs except in two cases (2/44) where digit 5 was absent or fused to digit 4

abnormal hindlimb morphology ( J:81795 )

• mutant mice display hindlimb defects of variable penetrance and expressivity, ranging from completely normal to entirely absent hindlimbs

absent hindlimb ( J:81795 )

• 3 of 44 mutant mice show complete absence of hindlimbs

short hindlimb ( J:81795 )

• 17 of 44 mutant mice show extensive truncations that extend into more proximal segments of the hindlimb

embryo

increased ectoderm apoptosis ( J:81795 )

• 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

abnormal apical ectodermal ridge morphology ( J:81795 )

• mutants display variable AER disruption in the distal margin of the hindlimb consistent with a variable hindlimb phenotype

thin apical ectodermal ridge ( J:81795 )

• 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

abnormal apical ectodermal ridge morphology ( J:81795 )

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

abnormal forelimb morphology ( J:81795 )

• 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

abnormal apical ectodermal ridge morphology ( J:81795 )

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