Embryonic lethality and sirenomelia were observed only in BMP null embryos in which one or two copies of TSG were also missing. When TSG and BMP7 are mutated, the siren phenotype results from the fusion of the limb buds in the ventroposterior midline owing to a paucity of posterior ventral mesoderm.
