N normal phenotype
skeleton
• homozygotes have lower bone mineral density (BMD) than wild-type or heterozygous littermates; differences become significant at 29 days of age and persists thereafter

vision/eye
• mutants display this abnormality in eye vascularization

N normal phenotype
limbs/digits/tail
• mice display incompletely penetrant limb deformities (35% of mice), which follows a pattern of severity along both left-right and posterior-anterior axes; some animals have apparently normal limbs while others have a completely absent limb(s)
• in affected mice, typically digits 4 and/or 5 are missing in the forelimb
• 27% have affected right forelimbs while 1% have affected left forelimbs; 7% have both affected; none of these mice show hindlimb defects

skeleton
• significantly reduced vs wild-type; present in all regions examined so values are not disproportionately reduced in animals with limb defects
• Lrp6 heterozygosity exacerbates the low bone mass phenotype
• most animals present between extremes of normal limbs vs absence of entire limb with either synostosis or reduction deformity of postaxial digits

limbs/digits/tail
• significantly reduced vs wild-type; present in all regions examined so values are not disproportionately reduced in animals with limb defects
• often only one digit is present on hindlimbs of affected mice
• in affected mice, typically digits 4 and/or 5 are missing in the forelimb
• in hindlimbs, the talus, calcaneous, and other tarsal bones are malformed or absent
• 27% have defects in both forelimbs while 9% have defects in both forelimbs and in the right hindlimb
• defects are more severe in right forelimb vs left forelimb

skeleton
• in 3 month old animals, skulls display reduced BMD when skull thickness is examined
• significantly reduced vs wild-type; present in all regions examined so values are not disproportionately reduced in animals with limb defects
• in hindlimbs, the talus, calcaneous, and other tarsal bones are malformed or absent
• significantly reduced vs wild-type; present in all regions examined so values are not disproportionately reduced in animals with limb defects
