Mutations in polr1c and polr1d disrupt craniofacial development in zebrafish embryos. 24 hpf (A-D), 3 dpf (E-G) and 5 dpf (H-J) polr1c-/- and polr1d-/- zebrafish exhibit craniofacial defects, including smaller eyes, a disrupted midbrain-hindbrain boundary and cranial necrosis compared to controls. At 3 dpf, distinct craniofacial anomalies such as a smaller jaw and eyes become apparent. By 5 dpf, polr1c-/- and polr1d-/- mutants are distinguished from their control siblings by their smaller head, microphthalmia, jaw hypoplasia, and failure to inflate their swim bladder (E-G). Abbreviations: e, eye; mbhb, midbrain hindbrain boundary; j, jaw; h, heart; sb, swim bladder. Scale bar = 200 μm (A-G) and 500 μm (H-J). |
