Embryos of three age groups (E7.0-8.0, E8.0-9.0 and E9.0-10.0) were collected. The number of embryos of each genotype is shown, followed by the number (in parentheses) that displayed abnormal phenotype; the percentage of abnormal embryos in each genotype class is shown in the last row of each intercross.

N/A, not applicable as no embryos of this genotype were found.

*

ϰ2 analysis was performed on the frequency of each genotype across all age groups, but genotypes were not present at the expected Mendelian frequency (ϰ2=30.5, significant difference at P<0.05) due to the loss of Wnt3-null embryos, which were arrested at gastrulation.
