Table 6. Upper and lower diastema size in wild-type and RSk2-/Y mutant mice with 3 or 4 molars.
Mean size (mm) | STD | p-value | |
Mandibular diastema Wild-type | 2.99 | 0.09 | |
Mandibular diastema Mutants with 3 molars | 2.83 | 0.21 | 0.22 |
Mandibular diastema Mutants with 4 molars | 2.71 | 0.1 | 0.26 |
Maxillary diastema Wild-type | 5.45 | 0.18 | |
Maxillary diastema Mutants with 3 molars | 5.33 | 0.21 | 0.49 |
Maxillary diastema Mutants with 4 molars | 5.01 | 0.21 | 0.0019 |
Only the upper (maxillary) diastema from mutants with 4 molars was significantly smaller compared to wild-type (bold). STD : standard deviation.
