  1. Values shown in parentheses are the number of abnormal observations over the total number of observations (60 wild-type and 133 homozygous embryos were scored on both the right and left side; one wild-type side (observation) was lost). Phenotype 1: Z-score = -3.33 and P-value ≤ 0.001. Phenotype 2: Z-score = -1.97 and P-value ≤ 0.05. Phenotypes 1 and 2 combined: Z-score = -4.35; P-value ≤ 0.0001. gIX, ganglia IX.
