| at embryonic day (E) 18.5 Cyp26b1(-/-) animals exhibit a truncated mandible, abnormal tooth buds, reduced ossification of calvaria, and are missing structures of the maxilla and nasal process | |
null and hypomorphic zebrafish cyp26b1 mutants, named dolphin (dol) and stocksteif (sst), display deficiencies in midline cartilaginous structures and hypermineralized facial and axial bones |
