Hindlimb fusion of Bmp4tm4Blh/Bmp4tm4Blh Isl1tm1(cre)Sev/Isl1+ mice

embryo
• hindlimb fusion similar to sirenomelia
• 59% and 36% of mutants have defects consistent with type III (loss of the fibula) and type I (abnormal medial location of fibula), with the other 5% having type V sirenomelia (loss of the fibula and fusion of the femur)
• marker analysis indicates abnormal anterior peri-cloacal mesenchyme formation resulting in hypoplastic anterior peri-cloacal mesenchyme
• the location of hindlimb bud is closely apposed to one another
• marker analysis suggests that posterior hindlimb buds are fused and that early hindlimb bud grows out normally but the midline tissue is missing
• however, the proximal-distal axis of the hindlimb bud is maintained

digestive/alimentary system

limbs/digits/tail
• defective fibula formation, with fibula aberrantly located medially or absent
• defective hindlimb initiation
• hindlimb fusion similar to sirenomelia
• 59% and 36% of mutants have defects consistent with type III (loss of the fibula) and type I (abnormal medial location of fibula), with the other 5% having type V sirenomelia (loss of the fibula and fusion of the femur)
• the location of hindlimb bud is closely apposed to one another
• marker analysis suggests that posterior hindlimb buds are fused and that early hindlimb bud grows out normally but the midline tissue is missing
• however, the proximal-distal axis of the hindlimb bud is maintained

renal/urinary system
• dysgenesis of pelvic/urogenital organs
• bladder aplasia

reproductive system
• hypoplasia of external genitalia

skeleton
• defective fibula formation, with fibula aberrantly located medially or absent
