renal/urinary system
• 5 of 6 show bilateral kidney hypoplasia
• 1 of 6 shows kidney agenesis

skeleton
• double mutants exhibit an increase in the frequency and severity of axial skeletal malformations compared to the single mutants
• penetrance of a unilateral pterygoquadrate element (a cartilaginous or osseous extension fusing the incus to the alisphenoid bone) is similar to that seen in single homozygous Rara mutants (3 of 16 mutants)
• 6 of 10 show bilateral agenesis of the zygomatic process of the squamosal bone
• low penetrance of fusion between the greater horns of thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone (1 of 6)
• penetrance of a unilateral pterygoquadrate element (a cartilaginous or osseous extension fusing the incus to the alisphenoid bone) is similar to that seen in single homozygous Rara mutants (3 of 16 mutants)
• the ventral extension of the cricoid cartilage is markedly longer in the double mutant than in either single mutant
• low penetrance of fusion between the greater horns of thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone (1 of 6)
• 100% penetrance of cervical vertebrae defects
• 7 of 9 show C2-C3 fusion
• 5 of 9 show C1-C2 fusion

cardiovascular system
• low penetrance (1 of 6 mutants)
• low penetrance (1 of 6 mutants)

craniofacial
• penetrance of a unilateral pterygoquadrate element (a cartilaginous or osseous extension fusing the incus to the alisphenoid bone) is similar to that seen in single homozygous Rara mutants (3 of 16 mutants)
• 6 of 10 show bilateral agenesis of the zygomatic process of the squamosal bone
• low penetrance of fusion between the greater horns of thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone (1 of 6)
• penetrance of a unilateral pterygoquadrate element (a cartilaginous or osseous extension fusing the incus to the alisphenoid bone) is similar to that seen in single homozygous Rara mutants (3 of 16 mutants)

hearing/vestibular/ear
• penetrance of a unilateral pterygoquadrate element (a cartilaginous or osseous extension fusing the incus to the alisphenoid bone) is similar to that seen in single homozygous Rara mutants (3 of 16 mutants)

respiratory system

• low penetrance of fusion between the greater horns of thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone (1 of 6)

growth/size/body
• low penetrance of fusion between the greater horns of thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone (1 of 6)
