Wnt3tm1Amc targeted mutation 1, Andrew P McMahon MGI:2450902 |
||||||||||||||||
| Summary |
3 genotypes
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• homozygotes fail to gastrulate
|
|
• homozygotes never develop limbs
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• mutants display variable AER disruption in the distal margin of the hindlimb consistent with a variable hindlimb phenotype
|
|
• at E10.5, the dorsoventral girth of the AER in the distal margin of the hindlimb is reduced to ~50%
• at E10.5, the dorsoventral girth of the forelimb AER is also reduced; however, the anterior/posterior length of the AER is generally unaffected
|
|
• 22 of 44 mutant mice exhibit mild to severe autopod defects
|
|
• mutant mice display normal forelimbs except in two cases (2/44) where digit 5 was absent or fused to digit 4
|
|
• mutant mice display hindlimb defects of variable penetrance and expressivity, ranging from completely normal to entirely absent hindlimbs
|
|
• 3 of 44 mutant mice show complete absence of hindlimbs
|
|
• 17 of 44 mutant mice show extensive truncations that extend into more proximal segments of the hindlimb
|
|
• mutants display extensive apoptosis throughout the hindlimb mesenchyme and adjacent ectoderm at the 35-42 somite stage; elevated apoptosis in the mesenchyme is more significant dorsally
|
|
• mutants display variable AER disruption in the distal margin of the hindlimb consistent with a variable hindlimb phenotype

| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• at E10.5, mutant mice exhibit a reduction in the anterior/posterior length of the AER
|
|
• mutant mice display variable forelimb defects ranging from three digits (anterior digits 1-3) and normal zeugopod (radius and ulna) to one digit (digit 2 or 3) and also zeugopod defects (missing ulna); in most cases, the humerus appears unaffected
|
|
• at E10.5, mutant mice exhibit a reduction in the anterior/posterior length of the AER
