Fig. 3. The craniofacial defects in Ror2W749FLAG/W749FLAG
mutants are due to changes in the nasal bones and orbital width.
(A) Facial phenotype of Ror2W749FLAG/W749FLAG mice
(right), showing shorter snout, increased intercanthal distance and entropion
eyes. (B-D) Comparison of crania from heterozyogous control (left) and
homozygous mutant (right) Ror2W749FLAG mice (9-month-old
males), viewed from dorsal (B) and lateral (C,D) aspects. The double arrows
indicate the craniometric linear measurements that showed significant
differences: (1) nasal length, (2) intermaxillar width, (3) intraorbital width
and (4) mandible anterior length. (E-H) Average lengths and widths (mm)
of craniometric parameters that were significantly different between
Ror2W749FLAG/W749FLAG mice and control littermates. Values
represent the mean±s.e.m. of triplicate measurements from five
heterozyogous (HET) and five homozyogous (KI) mice. Significantly different
from controls: **P<0.01;
*P<0.05.
