reproductive system

limbs/digits/tail
• d5 and d5* split from d4 and supernumerary distal carpal-like ossifications are found in the interdigital region unlike in wild-type mice
• digits are more severely affected than in Hoxd13tm1Ddu
• malformed articulations in forelimb digits II, III, and IV form a single metacarpophalangeal rod unlike in wild-type mice
• in 20% of mice a broader than normal digit V splits to form a full postaxial extra digit
• metatarsals V and I are broader than normal

skeleton
• d5 and d5* split from d4 and supernumerary distal carpal-like ossifications are found in the interdigital region unlike in wild-type mice
• metatarsals V and I are broader than normal
