Global patterns of bone sensitivity to hypothyroidism (TH−).
(A and A’): Schematics showing bones that
do not achieve proper shape (A) or ossification (A’) in TH−
backgrounds. (B) Heat maps show disruption in shape (left) and
ossification (oss., right) for each bone sorted by different cellular origins
(B, mesoderm vs. NCC), ossification profiles (B’, dermal vs.
endochondral) and timing of ossification (B”). In (B”), bones are
sorted by size range at which they ossify. Asterisks indicate significance
within a category as determined by ordinal logistic regression. Light blue,
unaffected; blue, moderately affected; dark blue, severely affected relative to
euthyroid.
