Fig. 3. Effect of Tbx1 heterozygosity on myelin-related genes.

Fig. 3

Relative mRNA expression levels (mean ± standard error of the mean [SEM]) for Tbx1, Ng2, Pdgfr2, myelin basic protein (MBP), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in the fimbria (a) and corpus callosum (b) of Tbx1+/+ (n = 5) and +/− (n = 4) mice are shown. Tbx1 mRNA levels were lower in the fimbria (a, t(7) = 4.081, p = 0.0047, ***) and corpus callosum (b, t(7) = 5.221, p = 0.0012, **) of +/− mice than in those of +/+ mice. In the fimbria, levels of Ng2 (a, t(7) = 3.394, p = 0.0115, *) were lower in +/− mice than in +/+ mice. These significant differences survived Benjamini–Hochberg’s correction at the false-discovery rate (FDR) of 5%. There were no other significant differences in the fimbria or corpus callosum (a,b, p > 0.05).
