Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption Phenotypic alterations in the axial skeleton of mice with a split HoxD cluster. Newborn animals were processed and stained for bone (alizarin red) and cartilage tissues (alcian blue). (A) Incidence of different lumbar vertebral formulae in wild-type, heterozygous (In(2Hoxd11;Itga6)1Ddu/+) and homozygous (In(2Hoxd11;Itga6)1Ddu/In(2Hoxd11;Itga6)1Ddu) mutant animals. L5/6 and L6/7 indicate unilateral transformations of the first sacral vertebrae. (B) Complete transformation of the first sacral vertebra into a lumbar identity (S1>L7) in a homozygous mutant (right), as compared to the L6 formula observed in wild-type specimen (left). (C) Misalignment of the first rib to the sternum (#) and fusions of sternebrae four and five (*) in a homozygous mutant. (D) Seventh cervical vertebrae (C7) of heterozygous and homozygous animals showing ectopic bony material protruding from the transverse processes (arrowheads).
