Skull analysis of Fgfr2tm2Ewj/Fgfr2+ Tg(EIIa-cre)C5379Lmgd/0 and Fgfr2tm1Ewj/Fgfr2+ Tg(EIIa-cre)C5379Lmgd/0 mice

skeleton
• as determined by marker expression, osteoblast differentiation at the chondro-osseuous junction and the metaphysis is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• osteoblast proliferation at the chondro-osseuous junction and the metaphysis is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• the suture between the horizontal plate of the palatine bone and palatal process of the maxilla is fused unlike in wild-type mice
• coronal sutures exhibit increased osteogenic differentiation and accelerated bone growth compared to in wild-type mice
• however, apoptosis rates at coronal sutures is normal
• the inter-premaxillary suture appears patent unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit premature closure of the premaxillary-maxillary sutures unlike wild-type mice
• skull height is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit shorter maxilla than wild-type and cre-recombined Fgfr2tm2Ewj heterozygotes
• the nasal region is shorter than in wild-type mice
• at P0, mice exhibit coronal suture presynostosis or synostosis unlike wild-type mice
• mice exhibit premature closure of the suture between the zygomatic process of the maxilla and the zygomatic bones unlike wild-type mice
