Treatment of pregnant mice at the egg cylinder stage with retinoic acid (RA) has caused ectopic hindlimbs in the offspring. Proposed causes of ectopic hindlimbs include homeotic transformation or multiple axis formation. Two mouse strains were determined to be divergent in susceptibility to this malformation (C57BL/6N, highly sensitive; SWV/Fnn, less sensitive). Ectopic limbs were hindlimbs (expressingPitx1andTbx4but notTbx5), yet they also expressed the predominantly forelimbHoxb8. Ectopic body axis formation was indicated by gene expression for ectopic primitive streaks, notochords, and nodes, as well as inhibition of anterior visceral endoderm and mesodermal migration. The earlier in development that embryos were examined, the higher the rate of ectopic hindlimb development and axis formation. Ectopic axis formation and cell migration inhibition had the same strain susceptibility as the dysmorphogenesis. We propose that all extra hindlimbs were derived from ectopic axis formation, perturbation of which is genetic background dependent. Developmental Dynamics 237:1553–1564, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
