mortality/aging
• die immediately after birth
|
respiratory system
• unable to breathe
|
skeleton
• ribs do not attach to the sternum due to their truncation
|
short sternum
(
J:3013
)
short ribs
(
J:3013
)
• absence of the major distal part of the ribs; the cranial rib stumps on both sides of the vertebral column end in dilated enlarged structures
|
• the sternum is completely ossified without sternebral segmentation
|
embryo
• appearance of myotomal cells in early somites is delayed by several days
|
muscle
• organization of muscles in the anterior thoracic wall is disorganized, probably due to lack of ribs
|
• muscle-specific marker analysis indicates a delay in the development of the myotome
