limbs/digits/tail
• the proximal and middle phalanges are reduced
|
• the proximal and middle phalanges are fused
|
brachydactyly
(
J:59282
)
• initial formation of the digital rays occurs normally, but proliferation of prechondrogenic cells and chondrocyte differentiation in the phalangeal region are reduced
|
skeleton
• the proximal and middle phalanges are reduced
|
• the proximal and middle phalanges are fused
|
• chondrogenesis is impaired in the region of the proximal and middle phalanges
|
• appendicular joint defects
|
nervous system
• defect in axon guidance of ventral retinal ganglion cells into the optic nerve head, showing severely aberrantly growing retinal ganglion cell axons that do not enter the optic nerve head but make abrupt turns
|
• defect in axon pathfinding of the ventrally located retinal ganglion cells
|
vision/eye
• about a 3-fold increase in retinal apoptosis at P7, with apoptotic cells concentrated in the inner nuclear layer
|
• defect in axon pathfinding of the ventrally located retinal ganglion cells
|
