Table 1. Intestine lengths, crypt diameters and organ weights of wt and Dvl2 mutant mice.

Measurements of small intestines (n >10 per genotype) and organ weights (n = 3 per genotype) from 120 day-old mice. Crypt diameters (n = 132, 3 mice per genotype) were calculated with AxioVision software (Zeiss); ± represents standard error.
