Table 2. Df(h15q13)−/− fraction of all animals at weaning and survival into adulthood depends on weaning conditions.

Condition At weaning
Adulthood
  Total −/− −/− Fraction Total −/− −/− Fraction Binomial test
Weaning at 3 weeks 162 19 0.117 147 6 0.041 P<0.001
Weaning at 4 weeks 101 12 0.119 98 11 0.112 P>0.05
Weaning at 4 weeks+supplements 403 50 0.124 399 50 0.125 P>0.05

At weaning: genotyping at weaning, 3 or 4 weeks after birth. Df(h15q13)−/− fraction compared with birth ratio by binomial test (birth ratio was 0.20). Adulthood: 8 weeks. Total: total number of mice. −/−: number of Df(h15q13)−/− mice. −/− fraction: Df(h15q13)−/− fraction of mice compared with fraction at weaning by binomial test. Supplements: nutritional supplements were added to the breeding cages. Pairwise testing probability of survival into adulthood assuming binomial numbers and using an approximate Gaussian test: weaning at 3 weeks vs weaning at 4 weeks P<0.05, weaning at 3 weeks vs weaning at 4 weeks+supplements P<0.01, weaning at 4 weeks vs weaning at 4 weeks+supplements P>0.05.
