Overexpression of wild-type gata5 restores cardiac fusion in fautm236a mutants
| Injected mRNA
|
Number of fautm236amutants (by genotype)
|
Number with cardia bifida
|
|---|---|---|
| gata5 | 39 | 9 (23%) |
| tm236a-1 | 25 | 19 (76%) |
| Uninjected | 35 | 23 (70%) |
The observed value of the test χ2(1), 17.33, indicates that the increased rate of cardiac fusion following overexpression of gata5 in fautm236amutants is statistically significant.
