Figure 4

Lateral radiographs from wild-type control (left column) and myostatin-deficient (right column) 1 day old (top row) and 180 day old (middle and bottom rows) mice. Note the shortened cranial vault (CV) and maxilla (MX) in the 180 day old myostatin-deficient skull compared to the wild-type skull producing brachycephaly in the adult myostatin-deficient skull. Also note the dramatically altered ramus and coranoid process (CP), and the elongated and rounded body in the adult myostatin-deficient mandible compared to the wild-type mandible, producing a “rocker-type” mandibular morphology.
