Fig. 4. N-Myc deficiency causes syndactyly. (A) Dorsal view of left
paws (autopods) of PC and PC-NMycf/f mouse limbs at E15.5.
Note the syndactyly of the central three digits and protruding digits 1 and 5
of PC-NMycf/f limbs. (B) Absence of digit
individualization in N-Myc-deficient autopods at postnatal day 1. Autopods
were stained for E-cadherin (green, arrow) to mark the epithelium and
counterstained with a pan-cytokeratin antibody (red). (C) Dorsal and
ventral views of forelimbs and hindlimbs of 1-week-old mice.
