Fig. 2. Skeletal phenotype of the forelimb. Dorsal view of the left forelimb of
wild-type, wild-type/raz and raz/raz embryos.
Anterior is upwards in A-F and towards the right in G-I. (C) There are two
holes in the scapula as well as a notch (arrow) at the vertebral border in
raz/raz fetuses. The olecranon process of the ulna (arrow) is present
in wild-type/wild-type fetuses (A,D) but not in raz/raz fetuses
(C,F). Note the styloid process of radius and ulna arises from different
sites, peripherally from the radius and centrally from the ulna in
wild-type/wild-type (G') and wild-type/raz (H) fetuses.
However, in raz/raz fetuses the styloid process of both bones
originates peripherally (I), indicating both bones have characteristics of a
radius. Note cartilage bar in carpus of raz/raz (red arrow
in I). Nomenclature in G is according to Davis and Capecchi
(Davis and Capecchi, 1994).
Scale bars: in C, 1.0 mm for A-C; in F, 1.0 mm for D-F; in I, 1.0 mm for
G-I.
