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.
