  1. 1Digit anomalies that were registered included syndactyly, ectrodactyly, adactyly. Limb reduction anomalies included amelia, apodia and hemimelia.
  2. §No fetuses with digit and limb anomalies were found in litters of control mice. Superscripts denote results of statistical analysis of values within a row. Values not sharing common superscripts are significantly different (the GT-2 test, p < 0.05).
  3. *Differences between the fore- and hindlimbs are statistically significant (Student's t-test, p < 0.05).
