TAZ and myostatin involved in muscle atrophy of congenital neurogenic clubfoot

Figure 1 Identification with 2D or 3D ultrasound of muscle atrophy in fetus with clubfoot. The 2D ultrasound image of calves (A) and feet (B). The left side shows the normal condition and the right side the clubfoot condition. The 3D tomographic ultrasound imaging [normal (C); clubfoot (D)] fixed the positioning line at the largest cross-section perpendicular to the tibia (center of the nine-square image), and measurement of the area was done at the cross-section image (upper left of the nine-square image); E: Quantitative data and statistical analysis of cross-section area in paired fetal calves. ^aP < 0.05 vs control.
