mortality/aging
• double heterozygous mice in which the Myf5 and Myf6 alleles are on different chromosomes show severely reduced expression of Myf5 and die at birth due to respiratory distress

• fusion of adjacent ribs
• short ribs; ribs are shorter than in wild-type or Myf6 homozygotes but longer than the stubs of Myf5 homozygotes
