Fig. 7. OFT defects in Fgfr1 and Fgfr2 double conditional-null
embryos. (A) Whole-mount in situ hybridization demonstrating
Fgfr1 (a) and Fgfr2 (d) expression in E9.5 mouse embryos.
Cryosections reveal detailed expression patterns of Fgfr1 (b,c) and
Fgfr2 (e,f). b1 and e1 are higher magnification views of b and e,
respectively. (B) H&E staining of E14.5 embryo sections
demonstrates that both Fgfr2 conditional mutant and
Fgfr1/Fgfr2 (Fgfr1/r2) double conditional mutants have
ventricular septal defects (VSDs) (g,h) and DROV (c,d,h), that
Fgfr1/Fgfr2 have PTA (l), and Fgfr1 mutants have normal OFTs
(b,f,j). Black arrowheads denote OA-associated VSDs, white arrowheads denote
DROV, and the red arrow denotes PTA.
