Caption

Left, control and right, Bmp5^se/Bmp5^se. Shown here, homozygotes have short, slightly ruffled external ears recognizable at about 14 days of age. The whole skeleton is abnormal, being slightly smaller than normal with numerous local defects including a reduced or bifurcated xiphisternum, reduced numbers of ribs and sternebrae, reduction or absence of the sesamoid bone of the wrist and knee, and of the anterior tubercles of the sixth cervical vertebra, and other similar defects.
