skeleton
|
• anomalies likely result from retarded growth of the mandibular condyle, maxillary sutures, and connective tissue of the dental pulp
|
|
• the sternum is short, broad, unsegmented
|
|
• abnormalities of the sternum appear to result from retarded growth of the ribs which fails to bring the bilateral sternal bands into close association during development
|
short sternum
(
J:277
)
wide sternum
(
J:277
)
|
• one more than normal
|
|
• results in sharp kinks in the thoracic or lumbar region
|
limbs/digits/tail
|
• the tail is tightly coiled at birth but "opens" as the mouse ages leaving the tail bent into various angles
• compared to other areas of the tail, the tail is thickened where angles occur
|
mortality/aging
|
• 24 per cent of mutant mice are dead at birth and more die by weaning but a few survive into adulthood
|
growth/size/body
|
• anomalies likely result from retarded growth of the mandibular condyle, maxillary sutures, and connective tissue of the dental pulp
|
|
• noticeable at birth
|
reproductive system
|
• few among the mutants that survive as adults breed
|
craniofacial
|
• anomalies likely result from retarded growth of the mandibular condyle, maxillary sutures, and connective tissue of the dental pulp
