Phenotypes Associated with This Genotype

Genotype
MGI:5443990

• Allelic Composition: Rspo2^ftls/Rspo2^ftls; Rspo3^tm1.1Jcob/Rspo3^tm1.2Jcob; Tg(Prrx1-cre)1Cjt/0
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S6/SvEvTac * C57BL/6 * CD-1 * SJL

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

Rspo2^ftls/Rspo2^ftls Rspo3^tm1.1Jcob/Rspo3^tm1.2Jcob Tg(Prrx1-cre)1Cjt/0 double mutants have more severe limb defects than single mutants

mortality/aging

neonatal lethality, complete penetrance ( J:188812 )

• mice die at birth as do Rspo2^ftls homozygotes

limbs/digits/tail

abnormal digit morphology ( J:188812 )

• in the forelimb

adactyly ( J:188812 )

• in digits of the forelimbs in 5 of 6 mice; all mice lack 1 digit

brachydactyly ( J:188812 )

• three shortened middle digits

abnormal forelimb morphology ( J:188812 )
