growth/size/body
• alveolar bone is formed around small rostral process of Meckel's cartilage and surrounds a lower incisor; growth is variable amongst mutants
|
craniofacial
• styloid process is truncated
|
• greater wing of sphenoid bone (ala temporalis) and lamina obturans are duplicated
|
• duplicated in mutants
|
• zygomatic processes of squamosal are malformed and often absent at E18.5
|
• often absent at E18.5
|
• hyoid is aberrantly ossified and fused bilaterally to basisphenoid in all mutants
• strut connecting stapes to hyoid is transformed lesser horn of hyoid fused to hyoid body and stretched to the lateral side
|
• alveolar bone is formed around small rostral process of Meckel's cartilage and surrounds a lower incisor; growth is variable amongst mutants
|
• mandibular arch-derived structures are transformed into maxillary arch-derived elements
• lower jaw is mirror image of upper jaw with arrays of vibrissae at E18.5
• most of dentary (lower jaw) is replaced by an ectopic bone, appearing as a mirror image duplication of the ipsilateral maxilla; morphology is almost same as wild-type maxillae
|
• second set of jugal and palatine bone is observed
|
• second set of jugal and palatine bone is observed at E18.5
• zygomatic processes of squamosal are malformed and often absent
|
• malformed, with incus, giving rise to ectopic structure extending to the squamosal
|
• gonial bone is lost
|
• stapes is displaced out of fenestra ovalis and is connected to hyoid through a cartilaginous strut
