Facial Dysmorphology Analysis for E17 Embryos
C57BL/6N E17 Embryo Facial Dysmorphology Analysis Facial morphometric analysis. P-value of significant treatment main effects (within sub-strain) for each facial measure is indicated. For the paired comparisons, (using Tukey-Kramer procedures) comparisons were made for Alc to Chow, PF to Chow, and Chow to PF groups: Bolded-typed values under columns denote that the overall treatment p-value < the corrected Bonferonni alpha = 0.0033. An asterisk (*) denotes that the Tukey-Kramer pair-wise comparison was significant (p<0.05). Gray-shaded areas are measurements with significant difference between both control groups and alcohol-exposed group. Results: Significant effects specific to alcohol treatment, (i.e., the Alcohol group differed from each respective control group), were identified for two measures of facial depths (upper facial depth; mid-facial depth) in both sub-strains, Only the B6N strain showed significant effects on two other facial height measures (nasal length; nasal bridge). The two strains showed markedly different patterns of facial alterations comparing the PF and Chow groups. In particular, the B6N sub-strain showed a significantly greater vulnerability to the pair feeding procedure (in terms of smaller facial measures) than did the B6J sub-strain.
C57BL6N Discriminant Analysis of E17 Facial Dysmorphology Discriminant analysis was done with all 15 measurements for correct predictability. Analysis was performed using backward stepwise model for comparison. Discriminant analysis was performed using individual animal group with comparisons between Alc and Pair-Fed as well as between Alc to all-non-alcohol litters. Percentage of correct predictability is reported for Alc and Non-Alc groups. “x” denotes the measurement in each column needed in the final classification model. % Reflects the percentage of correct

Summary ALC-ALC vs CHOW: easy to distinguish P21: 7 out of 9 measures can tell the difference P7: 5 out of 9 measures can tell the difference ALC-ALC vs ALC-PF: easy to distinguish P21: 5 out of 9 measures can tell the difference P7: 2 out of 9 measures can tell the difference ALC-PF vs CHOW: very hard to distinguish Only Occipital at P21 can tell the difference (p=0.42, p=0.16)
Summary Interesting measures Centroid_Size at both P7 and P21 stages can distinguish ALC_ALC from ALC_PF and CHOW, but not between ALC_PF and CHOW. Occipital at P21 can distinguish all three groups from one another
