embryo
• AER is thinner than in wild-type and extends ventrally and proximally
|
limbs/digits/tail
• mice display less severe phenotype than En1tm5(en)Alj or En1tm1Alj homozygotes; limbs appear normal at birth but abnormalities develop postnatally
• structures (nails, digits) normally restricted to distal limb also develop proximoventrally
|
• AER is thinner than in wild-type and extends ventrally and proximally
|
• by 6 weeks, proximal pads develop nail-pad hybrid structures and at 3 months, on distal limbs, pad/nail hybrid structures associated with the metatarsal pads are observed
|
integument
• a few weeks after birth, ventral nails form opposite dorsal nails; in 3-month old animals, closely juxtaposed ventral and dorsal nails (cylindrical nails) are observed on the distal limbs
