Fig. 4

The gpc4 mutant craniofacial phenotype is not enhanced by the loss of wnt5b. (A–B) The length of the symplectic element (see inset) from 5 dpf embryos. (A) Measurements of the symplectics from progeny of a dihybrid cross of gpc4^m818 and wnt5b^ta98. The presence of wnt5b^ta98 does not enhance the gpc4^m818 phenotype, but the double heterozygous mutant is significantly different than wild type. Tests of 14 a priori hypotheses were conducted using a Bonferroni adjusted alpha level of 0.00357 (0.05/11). *p = 0.0015, Mann–Whitney U (df) = 20. **p = 0.0021, Mann–Whiney U (df) = 88. (B) The symplectic cartilage is significantly smaller in gpc^4fr6 mutants than the symplectic elements in gpc4^m818 mutants. *p = 0.0157, Mann–Whitney U (df) = 22. Abbreviations: sy = symplectic, hm = hyomandibular.
