Kinky tail, elbow joint fusion and knee joint dysplasia in Fgf9^Eks/Fgf9⁺ mice

mortality/aging

lethality at weaning, incomplete penetrance ( J:77537 )

• severely affected mice die around weaning

skeleton

fused joints ( J:77537 )

• elbow joints and eventually knee joints fuse unlike in wild-type mice

synostosis ( J:146802 )

• in the cartilaginous components of the elbow joint

growth/size/body

postnatal growth retardation ( J:77537 )

• mice exhibit growth retardation compared to wild-type mice

• however, mice eventually catch up to wild-type mice

limbs/digits/tail
