Fig. 2. OFT alignment and septation defects in
Frs2
cn mutants. H&E
staining of E14.5 mouse embryonic heart sections demonstrates overriding aorta
(A-C) and double-outlet right ventricle (D-F) defects in
Frs2
cn/Nkx and
Frs2
cn/Mef mutants, and persistent truncus
arteriosus defects in the Frs2
cn/Nkx
mutant (G-I). Ao, aorta; DORV, double-outlet right ventricle; LV, left
ventricle; OA, overriding aorta; RV, right ventricle; PT, pulmonary trunk;
PTA, persistent truncus arteriosus. Black arrows denote OA-associated
ventricular septal defects; red arrow denotes the PTA; arrowheads denote
DORV.
