rib fusion
(

)
|
• at low penetrance
• Background Sensitivity: less severe than on a pure 129 background
|
|
• in the thoracic, lumbar, sacral and caudal regions but not cervical
• fusion of adjacent vertebral bodies and pedicles
• Background Sensitivity: mice on a mixed 129 and C57BL/6J background exhibit less penetrance and expressivity of vertebral abnormalities compared to on a pure 129 background
• Background Sensitivity: additional backcrossing to C67BL/6J rescues all but the defects in the ninth and tenth thoracic vertebra
