N normal phenotype
skeleton
• the clavicles are attached to the rib cage by connective tissue and do not articulate directly with it unlike in wild-type mice
• a eighth rib is attached to the sternum unlike in wild-type mice
• T1 ribs exhibit incomplete projection and T2 ribs extend but often do not reach the sternum (in 64% of mice)
• however, rib attachment posterior to T1 is normal
• ribs initiate but do not extend on T1 unlike in wild-type mice
• mice are missing a complete first rib
• rib 2 and 3 are fused prior to attachment to the sternum
• dorsal cartilage is thickened and forms a distinct curvature at the top of the vertebra unlike in wild-type mice
• C3 through T2 exhibit anterior homeotic transformations
• C3 through T1 exhibit characteristics of C2
• however, posterior thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae are normal in appearance and position
• C3 through T1 exhibit characteristics of C2
• T2 lacks anterior projections and is similar to T3
• ibs do not extend on T1 unlike in wild-type mice
• C3 through T1 exhibit characteristics of C2
• vertebral foramina extend beyond C6 to C7 unlike in wild-type mice
