Table 1 Timing of vaginal opening (VO).

Strain n (litters) Age at VO (days) (mean±SD) p v WT for VO Body weight (g) at VO (mean±SD) p v WT for body weight
WT 26 (18) 31.3±1.4 NA 15.7±1.4 NA
Corrected* Corrected*
p v B6 (VO) p v B6 (body weight)
S489X/S489X 14 (11) 48.9±9.3 <0.00001 13.9±1.5 0.0003
S489X/S489X+ 21 (12) 27.6±2.2 <0.00001 14.5±1.8 NS
ΔF508/ΔF508 10 (7) 47.9±14.7 <0.00001 12.9±2.1 0.0002
ΔF508/ΔF508+ 14 (8) 27.1±2.5 <0.00001 14.7±2.0 NS

*For the analysis of the timing of VO and body weight at VO in each strain versus homozygous non‐mutant Cftr (WT) mice, statistical significance was attributed to p<0.0125 to correct for multiple hypothesis testing; see Methods for details.

n, number of animals; NA, not applicable; NS, not significant; SD, standard deviation; VO, vaginal opening.
