Table 3. Lefty2 Heterozygosity Supresses EtOH-Induced HPE in Cdon-/- Embryos.
| Treatment | Genotype (# affected/total (%))* | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total HPE | Single nostril | |||
| Cdon-/-;Lefty2+/+ | Cdon-/-;Lefty2+/- | Cdon-/-;Lefty2+/+ | Cdon-/-;Lefty2+/- | |
| Saline | 1/12 (8.3%) | 0/10 (0%) | 0/12 (0%) | 0/10 (0%) |
| EtOH (3.48 g/kg) | 33/47 (70.2%) | 26/48 (54.2%) | 10/47 (21.3%) | 3/48 (6.3%)** |
* Crosses between the following genotypes were used to generate the genotypes scored above:.
Cdon+/-;Lefty2+/- x Cdon+/-;Lefty2+/-.
Cdon+/-;Lefty2+/- x Cdo-+/-;Lefty2+/-.
Cdon+/- x Cdon+/-;Lefty2+/-.
Cdon+/- x Cdo-/-;Lefty2+/-.
Cdon-/- x Cdon+/-;Lefty2+/-.
No HPE was found in offspring genotypes other than those shown.
**p=0.04 by Fisher's two-tailed exact test, when compared to EtOH-treated Cdon-/-;Lefty2+/+ embryos with a single nostril.
